"A sharp and tasty new musical... charming... as the show ingeniously turns professional perkiness, the lifeblood of the American musical into a funny, poingnant comment on ethnic self-denial ." - New York Times
"The play opens with an explosion of music... assessicle and enjoyable to people of all races and genders... the bubbly muxture of humor and pathjos makes for an entertaining -- but not feather weight -- show." - Pioneer Press
"A soul-baring, passionate musical... Childs' ruminations speak with wisdom and resonance not only to African-American audiences that share her experience and reference, but to any sensitive soul who ever has been on the outside, struggling to fit in." - Star Tribune

"Exquisite. Gordon's contemplative score often recalls salon music of the 1920s. Piano notes fall like teardrops. Throbbing cello and violin lines suggest quickening of breath. A sensual 'Sometimes' and a yearning 'But What I Say' are highlights among the 16 songs and extensive underscoring given dark, gleaming orchestration by Bruce Coughlin." - Michael Sommers, The Star-Ledger
"The melodies stick with you long afterwards...two unmistakable gems in 'Talk About the Weather' and Ms. O'Hara's wistful finale, 'If It Is True.'" - Jeremy McCarter, The New York Sun
"The music swirls with regret, romance, and a sense of lost time." - Ben Brantley, The New York Times
