From CD Baby Reviews of Q:
Some great songs with a lot of heart... Good instrumental backgrounds too. Great melody and lyrics to 'Could it be'... Also really enjoyed the spirit of "Been there, Done That" (having been most places and done most things myself)... All in all a nice addition to my colleciton of 'Easy Listening' Jazz CD's. Looking forward to your next album - Reviewer: Bob Griffith
I loved it - The music was great and had my feet tapping. I look forward to your next CD. Reviewer: Victoria Konopka
