"She phrases her pitch-perfect vocals superbly -- sliding
into a target note here, taking a broken-chord approach there --
but never overdoes it. She somehow always manages to sound entirely
natural, never forced; as if this were just her speaking voice set
to music. The spare instrumentals produced a richly textured sound,
but stopped short of overpowering the main attraction. That voice,
a dusky alto, has been constantly, and more or less rightfully,
compared to that of Billie Holiday."
