Writes Raul Da Gama Rosa, AllAboutJazz.com contributing editor:

The days of the great male crooners are over…Until, it appears, Kalil Wilson came along. Here is a singer, a profoundly smokey tenor who is so singular and naturally expressive that his voice appears biologically connected to ‘living breath.’ His phrasing, dynamics and expression are sublime, effortless and otherworldly. Wilson is heard on Easy to Love, a debut of bottomless depth and grandeur. But it's also self-effacing and completely lacking in the grandstanding that some vocalists might resort to today, in order to be heard and appreciated. His deeply personal interpretation and polished delivery make this an exquisite and priceless debut record.

— Raul Da Gama Rosa[3]
