Down Beat (5/97, p.74) - 4 (out of 5 stars) - "Monk tops a short list of genuine innovators in vocal music. With whoops, clicks, whispers and gasps, she's personalized vocal technique to invent a virtual (wordless) language of her own..."

Jazziz (8/97, p.76) - "...her vocal music...bypasses specific meaning to address more essential, less-definable issues of representation....[a] superb recording..."
