Reviews
"There's a new pop-tart on the horizon, Jessi Hamilton, who not only sings hook-laden songs and looks the part, she also writes them in a piano-based setting ala Fiona Apple, but with more pop flash."
--Michele Picardo, Freetime Magazine
"I love this CD. My co-hosts and listeners love it too, especially, "l Cry For You" and "(I can see the) Rain." I wish I could play more than 2 of her songs per show. (Jessi Hamilton) and her music are awesome..."

“Jessi Hamilton is living proof that there are still musical artists out there who are individually evolved rather than mass-produced.”
--Conrad Stinnett III, Peoria Journal Star
"Don't be fooled! Jessi Hamilton is not some gorgeous fashion model who wants to be a singer. Ok, the gorgeous part is true, but trust me, this girl can sing! And she's a quirky, intelligent songwriter too. You'll be glad you were introduced to Jessi Hamilton."
--Vince Marino, ABC Radio Network
“Her classical background has paid off, because what you don't hear in any of the other contemporary pop stars is any musical back ground. It's all production value. Jessi Hamilton seems to know what her vision is already and that's half the battle. There are few young artists here in America that have the kind of grasp on music history that Jessi Hamilton shows here.”
--Michael A. Cimino, Cottage Views Rock News

--John Bungey, Mojo Magazine
"(Jessi Hamilton) has a really beautiful voice, with a lot of vibrato. It is reminiscent of both Stevie Nicks and Madonna. My favorite tracks were ("I'll Cry For You") and ("Watching River") because of their hooks...."

--Randy Newman, March 2004
