"Antoinette Montague's name and elegant physical appearance have the touch of royalty. It's silly to take the regal comparison too far, yet her singing on her second album suggests a fitting for a tiara isn't out of the question. Focused and with purity of intent, she skillfully advances stories that are open-hearted gifts to listeners rather than exhibits of showy technique or solipsistic disclosure. Long under the spell of Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald, mentored by Carrie Smith and Etta Jones, Montague has the vocal command and depth of feeling to make you believe the words to songs, even potentially mawkish ones." - DOWNBEAT review by Frank-John Hadley
