"This performance is just plain fun! If you like MM, you'll love this. Her voice is a fine, fine instrument and she plays it oh so well. Truly wonderful."
I beg to differ with the Dayton, Ohio Fan

"While I concur wholeheartedly with "Ohio Fan's" praise of this CD, he has erroneously lamented the "demise" of Ms. McGovern's career a bit prematurely. Maureen's voice is as astonishing as ever -- even more so with each passing year. Just as fine wine, she gets better with age. Ms. McGovern has recorded at least 5 CDs, each better than the last since the release of Naughty Baby. While it is true that she suffered a vocal cord injury in the early 80's, she has long since recovered. With each of her recordings, one marvels with more than a tinge of envy at her extraordinary vocal talent and yet, for me, Naughty Baby remains a sentimental favorite."
A Well Balanced Popular/Jazzy Singing of a Great Dame

"How many Gershwin tributes have you heard? I run the risk to suggest you listen to this one more. It's a live album and I dont like live albums as a rule. Also I was not a fan of Ms.McGovern until this CD, strongly recommended by a friend. This was my first CD by Ms.McGovern and I love it deeply. A very efficient small group (piano-bass-drums-sax/flute) backs her under the touching and precise Mike Renzi direction. Creative arrangements, inspired singing on rare and well-known songs by Gershwin."
A wonderful live concert

"Some of Gershwin's most beautiful songs done simply and sensitively with only a piano accompaniement."
