Press Reviews "4 and a half stars - Solid, tuneful pop that wraps itself wonderfully around McCallion's somewhat wispy voice. Impressive, introspective lyrics complete the package...Utterly impressive." (Aiding and Abetting, FL) / "A - She should be welcomed into the assembly of women like Brenda Khan, Lisa Germano and AniDiFranco, who are making cutting edge music without bowing to the male dominated screech rock empire." (Island Ear, NY) / "The only problem here is that there are only three songs on this well-produced and played CD. More, more, more. " (The Musicians Exchange, NY) / "All you agents and label reps should be stampeding in this girl's direction."
