The San Francisco Chronicle describes her as "the next Celine Dion or the NEW Patsy Cline". Mike Thomas from the Pacific Sun writes "she has an uncommon vocal blend of God-given pipes and emotional reach - she's a precociously gifted country pop artist." When reviewing her new CD he states "Her first solo composition, " #1 Fan" is a surging gritty country rocker with a killer chorus"!
