Reviews:
- 4.5 Stars - ...may be the easiest-to-like Betty Carter album since she
sang with Ray Charles 35 years ago... She lingers in the glow of an after-midnight
atmosphere and takes her time with seven special songs and, of course, transforms them.
The cumulative effect is narcotic... - Down Beat, 1/97
- On this collection, as usual, she is intoxicating. Her interpretation of song is
heavenly, an intertwining of lyrical and musical sense that seeks and usually finds a
precarious balance on the edge of sentimentality - JazzTimes, 3/97
- 3 Stars - Carter has done almost as much as Sarah Vaughn to open up the
possibilities of what jazz singers can do if they have the nerve, technique, and talent...
- Q Magazine, 4/97
- An important gauge of a singer's mettle... is her way with ballads. On that score,
as always, Carter is unsurpassed... An unhurried, slowly unfolding qualirt inheres most of
I'm Yours, You're Mine as Carter employs her reeds, semisweet voice with subtle
precision, harmonizing with, or against, the other instrumentalists. Carter is most
effective (indeed, unrivaled) when she waxes warmly over tempos so slow as to be glacial.
- Gene Kalbacher, CMJ New Music Report
