 "Her smiling is contagious. Her energy to cheerleader her band’s solos at every moment was fun. Leslie also sings with added movement and accentuating punches. Watching her engage in each song showed a real authenticity of her love of the music. That charm and bottomless appreciation is infectious." Read the whole review on Music in Minnesota's site.

The upbeat tracks are a lot of fun and it shows in the band’s performance, however, it’s some of the more intimate moments where Vincent truly excels. The title track is a great example, after a lively start to the album we are treated to a relaxed cut situated in the classic third slot of the track listing. Vincent shows off some Ingrid Michaelson levels of sweetness and tender sentimentality. While the arrangement falls to just her voice and guitar, it highlights the effectiveness of her vocal execution to the point that it’s quite clear that we’re very much in capable hands until the rest of the swingin’ jazz combo is back from their proverbial smoke break.
