“Her joy in the act of singing is obvious throughout the entirety of “Comes Love.” Dame combines a freshness of approach, like the unpredictability of shifting meters Used to insert tension and increase the excitement of “Yesterdays,” with an unaffected fondness for the music she sings. That fondness is evident in the unadorned respect she pays for a classic song like “What’ll I Do?” The result is a clear-eyed approach to her material that remains accessible to a broad cross section of listeners, potentially enlarging the audience for jazz.”

“a clear and powerful voice along with the ability to improvise with subtlety…an excellent scat singer…beautiful tone”
Chicago Jazz Magazine
"From the start, it was apparent that Dame offered optimism, enthusism and joy for both her partners and the jazz standards they played together. This musical attitude was just as appealing as her considerable vocal and flute playing skills. Her intelligent phrasing also proves that she also listens to the lyrics she sings...a resounding musical success."
