”Each track makes an emotional dent. ...with such a sharp ear for detail that in my house we listen to it like a pop record. ...The power of the singers pen creates some of the most sublime moments here." DownBeat
"Though only her second album...Resistance shows other signs of impending greatness. She's hand-in-glove with musicians. A horn-like improviser, Eade allows her terrific trio judicious space...I'm out of space before I get to 'side two.' You discover it and Dominique Eade." Jazz Times
My Resistance is Low was recorded early in Eade's six-year stay in Brooklyn, NY. It is Eade's only strictly quartet recording and features lesser-known standards and some of Eade's originals. Lewis Nash was a close friend, and Eade and Barth were neighbors in Brooklyn and frequent collaborators around the time of this recording. Mraz, who had recently left a long tenure with the Tommy Flanagan Trio where he had played with Nash, is featured as a soloist.

"Eade has a most beautiful, pristine voice and is a romantic interpreter. She's close to perfection." Ann Arbor News
"Eade is so harmonically skilled, so secure in her interpretations that she never over-emotes or purveys pseudo-soul. Allied to her keen harmonic sense is her engaging scatting which she demonstrates to fine advantage on 'The Tender Trap,' the title track, and 'You Don't Know What Love Is.'"
