樂評:

Verve 的總裁Tommy LiPuma是著名的伯樂,Diana Krall 和Natalie Cole 是他一手栽培成名的歌手,今次與Brian Blade, Jon Cowherd等共同監製此唱片,陣容鼎盛。 唱作人是現今樂壇突圍而出的金牌身份,中外皆一樣,能夠唱歌之餘兼懂得作曲,才稱得上有才華的歌手,令人另眼相看。Lizz 在此唱片中共親自創作四首歌曲,分別是、、及,另外一首與Kenny Banks 合作,有不俗的表現。其他有Chick Corea 和Neville Potter 的,Jon Cowherd 編曲,Gordon Jenkins 的等,好歌又如何以筆墨形容!

聽眾評價

Lizz Wright 是爵士樂界一個陌生的名字,2002年Verve 與她簽約,2003年推出她的首張個人唱片。 Lizz 雖然只有二十三歲,但卻擁有一把成熟撩人的聲線,筆者覺得有點像Rock diva Annie Lennox,唱腔受到gospel, R&B 的影響,接近rock 女歌手Oleta Adams 及 Jill Scott 的風格。
