(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is Baby Jane Dexter's only studio album, and the one that truly captures the full fidelity of her voice, including her now-classic interpretation of "Until the Real Thing Comes Along." However, don't miss the quiet power of "When I'm Gone" and "San Diego Serenade."



Here is what the critics are saying:



"When God took Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Ruth Etting, Helen Morgan...he gave us Baby Jane Dexter in return. If you doubt it, go hear what she does, just for one hair-raising instance...with the song that's the pivot of her current pile-driving 'intimate opera,' Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin's great old standard, 'Until The Real Thing Comes Along'." The Villager



"Baby Jane Dexter may be the most talented singer within a time-honored genre of cabaret performer. Ms. Dexter doesn't read songs phrase by phrase for their literary nuances. She locates their emotional centers and stays there." Stephen Holden, N.Y. Times



"If you want to hear songs that haven't been done to death by everyone else, sung by a powerhouse whose belief in her material feels unshakeable, savor Baby Jane Dexter" Chip Deffaa, New York Post
