"Sophie Dunér comes up with something personal and persuasive to say. I hear some of Joan Armatrading in her warm, folksy way of phrasing a lyric and lacing it with falsetto trills. There’s a little Anita O’Day in there too, with a sassy insouciance sharpening some of her turns of verse.Dunér’s songsmithing is suitably idiosyncratic with imagery that leaves much to the imagination. “Jack the Ripper” finds her dealing in Yma Sumac-evocative octave leaps. The follow-up “Lonely Woman” copped from the Horace Silver songbook not Coleman, reminds me of the mellower side of Patty Waters mixed with Nina Simone."

" When it comes to Sophie’s achievements they are marvelous. Her texts are fascinating, head-on, humorous, venomous, intelligent, funny and with that dark, serious strike that raises them out of the present, to a common ground without genres or brands, where the songs live their own life and stand their ground. Her melodies are almost all of the time plain hit material, and her singing, not least, is wonderful, brilliant, sexy and melancholy – and her phrasing is out of this world ".

" This may be Sophie Dunér's debut but have no doubt: she is a mature, seasoned and original voice. In addition, she has written over half of the tunes for this stunning release, originals as notable as the standards she chose to accompany them. This is a memorable vocalist, composer/lyricist, and presentation. "

SONOLOCO RECORD REVIEWS - STOCKHOLM 2005

" Listening to this Gummeson Gallery recording and working with the music and texts, it dawns upon me with brute force what an excellent, yes, brilliant, composer Sophie Dunér is, in a complete, genuine sterling way. Her texts – intelligent, biting, sardonic, parodic, humorous but also serious and gentle – are at one with her tunes, her arrangements, and such is the vibrant atmosphere around her creativity that I don’t fear to say that she is among the top ten writers of contemporary jazz tunes in the world. Furthermore, her interpretations of her own songs – her intonation, her phrasing, her absolute stage presence – set her apart from most of her comparable contemporaries; allows her a very special place in the limelight – and I can only wish that she will sweep the world into breathless surrender – because she’s worth it! "

GRABACION DE DISCO CON CIMP - REDWOOD, NY, EE.UU 2005

“I was impressed by her form-filling yet ethereal vocal integration within a jazz combo and also by her original compositions. Sophie Dunér is both a personal and original singer and a composer of substance. Her talents are well in evidence on this recording."
