"Eriko Ishihara's album is a tour-de-force. Her five London musicians are all world class and she reveals herself to be of the same quality. She's not only an excellent vocalist, but also a superb pianist and fine composer/arranger. Three of her original compositions are featured, and of the ten standard songs she performs, she arranged all except one.
As a singer, she has great vocal presence and projects strongly, adapting her voice to the drama of the piece. Her timing and phrasing are terrific and she also contributes several sparkling piano solos. Her musicians are also given several solo opportunities and acquit themselves wonderfully.
This album is something of a masterpiece and also a delightful experience."
Ian Carr

"A highly musical player, her fluent jazz piano is a perfect foil to her lyrical and gentle vocal delivery.
A great find and definately a musician to keep an eye on"
606 Club

"Her bluesy piano style owes most to Gene Harris and Wynton Kelly"
Evening Standard

"She is immaculate in her choice of material. She renders her numbers most stylishly and with verve, her rendition of You Stepped Out Of A Dream and I Wish I Knew were the best and most passionate I have heard in a very long time"
