And how! Austin tackles standards such as "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "They Can't Take That Away from Me," and succeeds brilliantly. Her version of Comden, Green, and Bernstein's "I Can Cook, Too" is enough by itself to make this a pick. ---William Ruhlmann, Rovi

I have often thought that Patti Austin was my own personal treasure, the misguided attempts of record companies to package her as a R&B sexpot or Disco Diva were so wrong. She is a Singer and all she needs is a song and an arrangement and she soars!Well she also can handle songs as divergent as the Zydeco tinged "Across the Alley from the Alamo" with its toe tapping infectious fun to Standards like "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and the very difficult "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most". I listen to this CD over and over and buy it for my friends. I highly recommend it to lovers of music of any genre. She is a treasure! ---Bill McFadden, amazon.com
