This pair, and their pals from the frozen north, find room to give Brazilian classics a new spin without making the apple fall far from the tree but still make it something new and engaging to hear. Letting their love for the classics and the masters lead the way, they serve up a sweetest set of Jobim etc you could hope to find. A first class treat for fans of the sound that set the standard.

Turone beautifully handles all the piano playing and singing – much of the latter in Portuguese – and her warm, pure vocals really suit the style. Platt does all the deft guitar work, most prominently on nylon string... The standout, for me, is Lendas Brasileiras by Guinga. Gorgeous. The final tune – featuring percussionist Helio Cunha – ventures into samba territory and since that style epitomizes the renowned pre-Lent celebrations in Rio, A Festa Do Divino, is a fitting closer to this fine album.

Cathy Riches – The WholeNote

Angela Turone’s voice is as pleasant as windchimes playing on a soft, June breeze. Chris Platt’s tasty guitar licks enhance their production, reflecting a warm camaraderie that’s noticeable between the two artists. Listening to their music made me feel peaceful and brought a smile to my lips.

Dee Dee McNeil – Musical Memoirs

... a healthy dose of bossa nova, samba and other Brazilian musical flavours and textures with prowess and sincerity.... This album is a perfect soundtrack to a trip you can’t safely take these days. Sit back with a beverage of your choice and let Turone and Platt take you on a musical journey from the safety of your living room.

David Reed – Brantford Expositor

A Toronto duo, vocalist Angela Turone and guitarist Chris Platt recreate Brazil circa 1965 in letter and spirit... The Canadians catch the easy-going yet wide awake tone, the gentle yet insistence rhythms, that serve as a platform for jazz artists to solo around the beautiful melodies.
