Reviews:

  • This well-rounded set gives listeners a good look at the adventurous music of Betty Carter... Consistently unpredictable (whether scatting or stretching out ballads), Betty Carter's recordings are always quite stimulating. - All-Music Guide to Jazz
  • No one is any better than Betty Carter when it comes to scat singing, and while there's an ample amount of scatting on Look What I Got, it's her ballad work that seems to be reaching new heights... Betty Carter is one of the finest vocalists in Jazz.  Look What I Got is a very good recording and quite representative of her talent. - Cadence
