“Beginning with the song she and her guitarist husband Dave Barbour wrote, ‘What More Can a Woman Do,’ her star quality is immediately apparent – great aural presence, and a beguiling mix of strength and vulnerability. This underlies several early tracks… There’s plenty of hard-swinging jazz on Volume 2, with (despite a corny backing vocal) Barbour’s band ably supporting her on ‘Happy Music,’ the groovy ‘Rock Me to Sleep’ co-written by Benny Carter, and the light touch of Pete Rugolo’s chart for ‘Save Your Sorrow for Tomorrow.’ Album three brings us into the 1960s. A sensitive reading of Jimmy Webb’s ‘Didn’t We’ sits alongside some lovely, previously unheard alternates of ‘A Taste of Honey’ and ‘I’ll Be Seeing You,’ the latter with strings, but with plenty of space for her heartfelt vocal.” (Source: Alyn Shipton, Jazzwise)
