"it's a tasteful vocal outing with a very small group of musicians."
"Lillie Kae comes on with no thunder, but rather a warm breeze of a voice. She has a girlishly youthful sound and an unassuming manner. Communicative singing seems to come naturally as there is nothing forced or coy about her approach. Lillie's cozy approach is enhanced by the presence of marvelous musicians in small-group settings and they really get to play, more like co-stars. Billed as Lillie Kae Stevens, she has worked as a musical theatre performer on tours and on Broadway as a swing and dance captain in the revival of Chicago. This is her debut album."
"This is the kind of album which becomes more impressive the more you listen. Not drawing attention to itself, Lillie's musicality plus her ease with the songs and musicians is more appreciated with repeat listenings. She's more than just another pretty voice."

"I listened to the entire CD and I have to say one thing; It held my full attention from beginning to end. Lillie's performance to say the least was excellent! She has a phenomenal feel for jazz in every sense of the word."
"Listening to this album brought out echoes of the "[Nat] King Cole Trio."
"[Eddie Decker's] 4/4 rhythmic comping on guitar and changes reminded me of the great Oscar Moore who was Nat Cole's guitarist. Another fine artist on this session is the one and only "Bucky Pizzarelli" A fine player who was on almost every session you could think of from jingles to jazz. It's always cool to have a veteran player on a date to give it the right touch."
"What's also amazing is even though there's no drummer on this date, the tunes swing with one intense groove; it's just the result of good musicianship."
"I personally feel that once you hear this album, it will get your attention as it did mine. Fine artistry doesn't come often in music these days, but Lillie's album contains vintage artistry that needs to be captured by the public's ear once again.
Unfortunately, we live in an era where bad product pushes out the good; but if a good product such as Lillie's album is brought to the public's attention and the new kids on the block are made aware of what real music sounds like, There is hope."
