"she exudes warmth in spades...An unusually gifted vocalist, impeccable phrasing...steeped in a swinging jazz sensiblity that reminds me of Mel Torme.... Ernie Watts' eloquent saxophone lines. Keep an eye and ear on Carla Helmbrecht; hers is a voice that we're destined to hear in the future." - Carol Archer, R & R Magazine"
"A thoroughly delightful album that features a voice of uncommon beauty. From the very first song, the self-penned title track, Ms. Helmbrecht had this heartless cynic wrapped up in her graceful charms. Her voice, possessing a slight sultry quality, exudes such an intimate warmth and embracing clarity that one is not so much enticed or seduced as simply welcomed into her songs." - Jay Trachtenberg, Austin Chronicle
"Her voice is very captivating and Ernie Watts is Great!" - Steve Graybow, Billboard Magazine
With her clarity, she's the lyric writer's best friend. Good thing: She writes excellent words herself that hold up well in competition with the Bergmans, Betty Comden, Yip Harbug and Ray Noble. Her writing is like her singing: cool and kind." - Harvey Siders, JazzTimes Magazine
