Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review states, "It is difficult not to use some of liner note author Doug Ramsey's many adjectives to describe this marvelous singer, who is able to tell a story effortlessly with her pure, unaffected vocals, backed by the excellent support...Whether her theme is love in bloom, love lost, loneliness, or sentiment, d'Ambrosio conveys it in her soft, swinging style. This is the perfect CD for a quiet evening with someone special".[3] In JazzTimes, Harvey Siders wrote, "If any songwriter deserves the encomium "American original," it's Meredith d'Ambrosio. No slave to A-A-B-A or 32-measure tunes, she has always followed her own muse. Her inspiration: intimate jazz, in the story telling style of Mabel Mercer. Meredith has a small range, but tons of wit, whimsy and wisdom. There's no doubt she's a bona fide jazz singer".[4]

gollark: They must have so many weird special cases everywhere for slightly broken software or hardware.
gollark: I've read a bit about it, and it's probably 80% insanity given the amount of stuff they do to maintain backward compatibility.
gollark: Yes, they could probably just put basically anything in there and it would be hard to do anything about it.
gollark: No, I mean it would be hard to do in the various open source OSes.
gollark: > Maybe you've never thought about this, but if there are 100 devs working for free you'd only need to hire 50 devs to compromise all their code.That's, um, still quite a lot given the large amounts of developers involved, and code review exists, and this kind of conspiracy could *never* stay secret for very long, and if you have an obvious backdoor obvious people are fairly likely to look at it and notice.
