"...glitters with gorgeous and evocative songs of longing and regret....places Evora's rich pipes over more traditional acoustic instrumentation...", 4 stars (out of 5) - "...one of several albums from which Evora...has acquired her glittering international reputation...", "...a package of mellifluous Portuguese songs representing the romance of her native Sao Vicente. Evora's gift for conveying vulnerablity across language and culture is astonishing. Like Bessie Smith and Billie Holiday, she evokes thoughts of hearts won and lost." - Rating A-
