“Eileen has a voice that recalls the edgy vibrato of some swing brass players, which is all to the good. There is something about her delivery that recalls Nancy Wilson, as much in her emotional impact as in any stylistic similarity… listening to more of Tracye Eileen is certainly an attractive idea.” -All About Jazz by Richard Salvucci, December 3, 2022
"Tracye Eileen has indeed added “a contemporary edge” breathing new life into this set of well worn classics. So, this leaves me with the question, what is it about this album that makes it special? The answer is simple, It’s Tracye Eileen’s vocal performances."- CD REVIEWS, NEWS, REVIEWS - Jazz In Europe BY JAN VELDMAN, December 6, 2022
The way she sings is half the fun of the song. Eileen makes deft use of her impeccable phrasing. Listeners can feel the romance and flirtatiousness in her enunciation. Tracye Eileen has experience singing in more than one genre. Her work in jazz is impeccable, engaging, and entertaining. Here’s hoping that she sticks with jazz for more recordings to come. -Lemonwire by Dodie Miller-Gould

August 31, 2022
Bebop Spoken Here (England) by Lance Liddle
“An impressive take on a selection of GAS book classics. Her soulful, bluesy renditions bring to my mind Nina Simone, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson among others - but only in spirit - in actual performance she is nobody's clone…. an excellent session.”

Culture Mania (Netherlands) by Patrick Van de Wiele
“'The End of a Love Affair' is reminiscent of her great examples Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington. Although this CD was recorded with two different bands, it still feels like a coherent whole. So you can safely say that Tracye "hit the spot"!”
