"...a singer who blends interpretive intelligence with a solid musical grounding and a sure sense of swing...her capacity to range so freely and easily from impressive scat singing to rich interpretation was one of her most striking achievements...her lines were filled with unusual twists and turns, energized by her nonstop rhythmic drive...she deserves to be heard..."

Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times

"One of the most impressive performers to come along in years is Carla White...a fiercely original approach to the cabaret and jazz repertoire...profound sensitivity to the meaning of the lyric...an unusually accomplished interpreter."

Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune

"Lots of jazz singers are clamoring for our attention these days, but few pack the grit and gusto, as well as the savvy and sophistication of Carla White...pacing, phrasing, repertoire are all a delight."

Fred Bouchard, Boston Phoenix

"A distinctive, richly expressive singer with a penchant for the smoky and the nocturnal...It's a cliché to say that a jazz singer makes familiar material 'her own,' but White does exactly that."

Alex Henderson, CD Review

"... a singer with the right stuff, unique, clever, imaginative, inventive."

Peter Stevens, CODA Magazine

"She has the concept, the intellect, the feeling and the guts to properly interpret a tune, whether it's a brooding, nasty blues number or a classy elegant soap opera by Cole Porter."

Hugh Wyatt, New York Daily News

"Miss White's primary assets are her warm, confident middle and low registers and sensitive expiration of lyrics."

John S. Wilson, New York Times
