With her singularly enticing sound, equal parts Maria Muldaur mewl and breezy Blossom Dearie trill, few contemporary vocalists are as well suited to dustily vintage material as jazz-blues stylist Roberta Donnay."
- Christoper Loudon, Jazz Times

"Stylistic kind to flappers of the anything goes 1920s, Roberta Donnay has a silky, clean voice that is a small marvel of geniality, rarely dipping into touchy-feely cuteness."
- Frank-John Hadley, DownBeat

"Exploring the music and spirit of this bygone era is clearly a labor of love for Roberta Donnay. She injects enthusiasm into her chosen material, shows respect for her musical primogenitors, and conjures thoughts of a different time with Bathtub Gin."
- Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz

Joining the tradition of such singers as Josephine Baker, Peggy Lee and Annette Hanshaw, Roberta Donnay and her Prohibition Mob Band present a dazzling array of jazz age classics and four original compositions that feel right at home in this collection. Donnay's sweet, but frank delivery pairs with her flashy horn section for a sound that comes straight out of the speakeasy.
