"Whether crooning ballads or swinging on “I Don’t Want You Anymore” or dealing with tricky Latin syncopations,
Scott delivers the vocal goods, communicating in a
high- soaring, lilting fashion that calls to mind the Divine Miss Sarah."

"Scott’s earthy contralto explores love lost and found in the opening title track. The songs graceful bossa sway, conveys the emotional
spectrum, encompassing a panorama of a Carnival
crowd teeming with romance and heartbreak, new chapters beginning and old stories ending. The
song is composed by Dehner Franks, Scott’s former vocal and jazz piano coach. The beautiful harmonies and Scott’s festive vocal delivery
make this a stand-out opening track."

"Scott lets loose on a full bodied and big banded Latin lilt
for 'On Green Dolphin Street,' while she scintillates on
'It’s Your Smile.' Winning ways."
