"Introspective, melodic folk-pop simply doesn’t get much finer than the new CD by Newburyport’s Levine. That rare album where a whole mind and heart is revealed." -- Daniel Gewertz, The Boston Herald

With poignant clarity, Levine sings beautiful songs of love and hope with a down-home feel good country flair. It isn't country music in the traditional sense, but it is a gorgeous slice of Americana that's sweet, innocent and spiritual and deserving of attention. -- Douglas Sloan, Metronome Magazine

"Susan Levine writes and sings with bottomless sincerity. Honesty is great, as far as it goes. But it's not enough. To really hit people, a songwriter and singer needs art and finesse. Susan Levine has plenty of that to go along her her honest heart. A smart writer with a warm voice that can send chills down your spine." - Marilyn Rea Beyer, WUMB Folk Radio, 91.9 FM Boston

"Susan is a literate and intelligent lyricist whose songs are laced with evocative images. Susan has a flowing and expressive voice, powerful yet capable of wrapping you up with warmth and tenderness." Richard Fox, WCUW, 91.3 FM, Worcester

"Not only does this woman sing brilliantly and perform powerfully, her songs speak to and stay with her listeners." Esther Friedman, WUMB Folkwaves Magazine

"Susan writes compelling songs. She writes with a sense of honesty, humor and playfulness that is just infectious, and sings in a voice that will have you begging for more." Eric Gerber, Singer-Songwriter, Kerrville, Texas

"A wonderful songwriter and dynamic performer, thrilling audiences at the coffeehouses and open mics around town." Matt Smith, Music Operations Manager, Club Passim, Cambridge, MA
