For her first full-length recording he surrounded her with Grammy nominees and LA session players to add experience to her youthful sound. This combination of youth and experience propels her music on a journey through several of her favorite styles yet still sounds unique. The title cut “Stay With Me” garnered Courtney an Honorable Mention in the 2006 John Lennon Song Writing Competition. ....

Compared to What? proves itself a funkier, harder-driving version of the Les McCann/Eddie Harris hit from '68, featuring vocalist Courtney Lemmon, whose soulful take on the lyrics show them to be as relevant in these turbulent times as they were in the late sixties.
~ Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz Magazine

With a sweet yet lonely voice, and a comfortably lazy feel on the beat, Ms. Lemmon shows much promise as she showed full command in front of the snapping rhythm.
~George W. Harris-Jazziz Magazine

"At age 15, Courtney Lemmon takes the stage, and the applause, at The Club."
~ Sherri Zickefoose- SummitUP Newspaper, Banff
