“I have to say I am very impressed. She’s got something unique in her voice that’s very subtle and a little smoky and sweet. She’s got a refreshingly spunky attitude to go along with it. I detect a certain wisdom in her, and yet a sense of wonder as well.”
- - Lucinda Williams / New York Times (February 4, 2007)

“**** (4 stars)
…the verve, swagger and attitude she flaunts on this excellent solo debut comes as quite a shock.
…it’s an adventurous, eclectic collection, with telling roles for avant-jazz guitarist Bill Frisell and Rodriguez’s husband, jazz sax player Javier Vercher, who’s contribution takes the compelling title song into a new dimension.
… She’s hot and steamy, on the outrageously seductive ‘50’s French Movie’…”
