"The City of Angels has favored us with another wonderful home-grown vocalist. Cool-toned vocalist Kathleen Grace gives a shining debut on Sunrise... Dreamy and mournful on a sparse “Softly as in a morning sunrise,” Grace’s voice is as luminescent as a clarinet in the chalumeau register ... With enough clever detours on this well crafted and arranged CD, Grace has put Sunrise up for debut of the year.”
- George Harris, All About Jazz
"Grace personalizes a song with subtlety and nuance, intimately enveloping each song with her classically trained three-octave voice... Sunrise is one of those albums that gets better and better with each listen. Kathleen Grace is my pick for Best New Jazz Artist of 2005."
- Jim Newsom, Portfolio Weekley
"...a good representation of why she has been garnering a lot of positive critical acclaim...I sensed the kind of cool warmth that was a hallmark of one of the best of all jazz influenced vocalists, Irene Kral. Grace's approach comes from a jazz base, and she puts her own subtle twists and turns on even the most familiar songs among her selections."
-- Joseph Lang, Jersey Jazz
"clear, lyric tone of haunting beauty"
-- Louise Causey Lewis, Island Packet
