"With her velvety voice Frau Carreri interprets the diverse and finely crafted arrangements of Herrn Petterson in a wonderful and special way, reminding one of old Hollywood films or Broadway musicals.
With an in-built groove factor, a touch of Doris-Day-feeling and lots of easy listening.."
(InMusic)

"Music from Denmark often has a sense of melody and ease lacking in other countries'.
This CD proves it."
(Oldie-Markt)

"..presents an unusual and still spell-binding musical mix. (..)
Instead of authenticity Alice and Petterson deliver good entertainment and an unusual album worth listening to."
(DPA)

"They don't just scatter the lightness of The Cardigans and the songwriting quality of Bacharach, they even have enough sixties-spirit to match the instrumental opulence of "Pet Sounds".
There is so much pop appeal and "schwung" in this songbook that it would be unfair to single out particular songs.
(..) One of the best pop albums this year so far."
(Mbeat)

"With its heartfelt interpretations this album reminds one of Broadway musicals and American jazz-pop songs of the 50s. The caring and first-class productions of composer Mikkel Petterson gives the album a wonderfully analog and natural sound."
(Wilwechsel)

"Rarely does a collaboration between two musicians turn out to be so fruitful. (..)
With its great care for detail, brillant production, refreshing and varied arrangements and the wonderful voice of Alice Carreri, the record is to be counted among the most unusual Scandinavian releases of the year, already compared by many to The Cardigans."
(Diabolo)

"Mikkel Petterson has found a wonderful singer in Alice Carreri. With her incredibly versatile voice she takes you on a journey - where to is always uncertain. You only know that when it's over, you have to push the play button again."
(Rote Raupe)

"Accompanied by 25 guest musicians, treating instruments such as harpsichord, strings and timpani, they have made a piece of music that is rooted in the past, but still timeless. It has an incredible charm to it and is so different from other comtemporary releases.(..) All seems possible and nothing is over-done.(..)
Indiepop meets cabaret and jazz - something really special."
(Acoustic Shock)
