"Sienna Dahlen has made a beautifully compelling record that is soulful and unique."听听Ron Sexsmith (acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter)

"Ambiances 茅th茅r茅es, profond茅ment sensuelles, subtiles du d茅but 脿 la fin. Zones m茅tisses d鈥檜n style composite, entre jazz, folk et country. Chansons originales exprim茅es en anglais mais aussi en fran莽ais avec un accent charmant. Timbre singulier, gr芒ce, volupt茅. Sens unique du phras茅, sens 茅vident des nuances et des jeux d鈥檌ntensit茅 vocale, sens de l鈥檌mpro.聽 En bref, un coup de coeur pour Sienna Dahlen."听听Alain Brunet (La Presse, Montr茅al) 4/4 stars
