"Gretchen Parlato gives a breathy, hesitant, and pain-filled interpretation of Jobim’s “How Insensitive” that is as flat-out brilliant as it is devastating." — Hermon Joyner, Audiophile Audition
"How Insensitive,” the great Jobim bossa —wait until you hear Gretchen Parlato’s ultra-intimate and super-sensitive rendering...what the song’s all about. Just Jovino Santos Neto chording softly to the softest of softest whispering of the song: the loneliness, the regret, the acceptance of knowing, of empathy when a love affair is over."
— Bob Gish, Jazz Inside Magazine
