Raves:
"The finest jazz singer to emerge in the last decade...outstanding."  -- The New York Times

"Her voice is singularly arresting...It's enough to make a listener care all over again." -- The Wall Street Journal

"Salvant possesses the sort of intuition that promises to kill in a live setting; she's studied these songs and how to embody them under any circumstance."  -- NPR Music

"Jazz-vocal stardom may be within her grasp, but McLorin Salvant is going to take hold of it her own way...Listeners craving the comfort of the tried and true should look elsewhere."  -- New Yorker

"McLorin Salvant has it all -- the vocal instrument, the technique, the material, the arrangements and the interpretive chops...a riveting mini-drama."  -- Boston Globe

"Resoundingly eloquent, whether growling the blues or barely breathing, Salvant has inbuilt swing, an actor's stagecraft, an instrumentalist's precision of nuance, and an appetite for dusting off rarely performed songs."  -- Guardian UK

"Redefining her art form with style and sass...her voice brimming with equal measures of talent and personality as it swoops from girlish tweet to honeyed seduction to guttural growl."  -- KPCC Take Two
