“It’s a very, very, very good record. I liked this a lot She’s got a nice sound….. isn’t it grand?”
“she has teamed up with a classy group of musicians who provide the perfect setting for Smith’s jazzy funky numbers. Laid back grooves, sweet harmonies and pretty melodies”
“An Auckland Identity on the jazz/vocal scene with band The Fondue Set, Caitlin Smith has slipped effortlessly into songwriter mode.… Smith has near-perfect ‘phrasing’ – putting the words in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Sounds simple enough but it’s a talent that makes her songs soar to life”.

She’s an extraordinary singer with vast reserves of firepower and the smarts to keep diva elasticity well in check - at the service of her songs.
