"Parlato is arguably the emblematic jazz vocalist of her generation, and perhaps the most visionary to come along in a generation” 
— Michael West, Washington City Paper 


"Gretchen Parlato is emerging as the most important jazz singer since Cassandra Wilson. Her vocal approach is so unique and her repertoire so eclectic that she stands to create a jazz vocal genre unto herself." — Michael Bailey, All About Jazz  


 "She can sound like morning rain, twilight fog, crashing waves or swirling snowflakes. But tranquil or stormy, dreamy or restive, eider-soft or hard as sleet, Gretchen Parlato remains the freshest and purest of contemporary vocalists.” 
— Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

"—leagues ahead of the year’s other vocal jazz recordings...her near-whispers—a sort of seduction through vulnerability...
 a careful listen reveals her extraordinary confidence — audible gasps are devices for suspense and rhythm... revealing Parlato’s mastery of rhythm — emotional depth, subtlety, and the kind of precise technical craft where even the breathing sounds matter.

     — Michael J. West, Washington City Paper
