★★★★ ½ (4 ½ Stars) ”[Blake and Eade] each instantly can access deep emotional and musical essences.…chilling the bone and soothing the soul.” Kirk Silsbee DownBeat

“…She can draw him out by the force of her musical personality…there’s a soaring optimism to her long notes. They make you hear a song anew, no matter how old it is, or how often you’ve heard it.” Kevin Whitehead NPR’s Fresh Air

“…bold, variegated brilliance. Artful. Mercurial. Exhilarating.” Jazz Times

“It’s jazz, and emphatically so, but its fierce and unapologetic inventions take the music into very unexpected directions. It’s natural to compare bright flashes of this “My Foolish Heart” with the [Bill] Evans/[Tony] Bennett of the mid-’70s. Yet here the close harmony and glimpses of dark reflection and descending chromaticism are so effective with Eade, as she glides perfectly in the atmosphere before settling into a bluesy flourish or ascending unexpectedly into an improbably high register.” Paris Transatlantic Magazine

“Conjures images so vivid that it hardly requires a movie.” The Wall Street Journal

“This album of captivating minimalism is simply vocalist Dominique Eade and pianist Jed Wilson’s accompaniment. Eade possesses a lovely, remarkably flexible voice. Her range is as impressive as her clarity, and she adds a fine interpretive gift to all these attributes.” Billboard

“…sublime, daring mix of jazz and “singer-songwriter” sensibilities. Humor, honesty, lyric imagination, and vocal agility. And they cut loose with this material in a rip-roaring show at the Regattabar.” Best of Year in Jazz, The Boston Phoenix

"...tasty arrangements on a decidedly fresh set of tunes...Wilson, Krall, Reeves, and Eade, all artists with the guts to try something different, have opened the door to a restive pop audience that hungers for melody and emotional substance." Downbeat

"...cool and deliberate, musicianly and sensible." Ben Ratliff, The New York Times

"There has always been an aura surrounding Eade's singing that recalls the true father of the cool, Lester Young." The Boston Globe

"When the Wind Was Cool is as enchanting and inventive a jazz vocal album as anything you're likely to hear this side of Betty Carter. Like the master, Eade knows how to make fresh compelling drama out of familiar material. Just the right amount of wit and emotion...Eade isn't just another lovely voice who knows how to bend notes. She is one of the few imaginative artists to have emerged in the field of jazz singing in this decade." New York Newsday

"Dominique Eade at Visiones in New York, early fall. The singer couldn't have been any more vivid essaying her own 'Late Autumn Evening' from the exquisite My Resistance is Low.” Billboard

"Dominique Eade, who boasts a dark and enveloping alto, has a penchant for melodic risks, and the ability to resolve them with assurance and grace. On My Resistance is Low, her impressive second album, she covers obscure gems, writes intriguing originals, and swings ballads into deep delicious grooves." The New Yorker

“In a year when women singers like Shirley Horn, Dianne Reeves and Natalie Cole have controlled the upper reaches of the jazz charts and veterans like Cleo Laine and Abbey Lincoln have been putting out their best work in years, it seems only right that a relative unknown like Eade should make her move into recording as part of the overall boom.” New York Newsday

“For her debut recording, Dominique Eade displays her pliant, flexible voice in a love song style framework of joy or regret, vision, hopefulness, and openness with a difference. She's quite an able scat singer and goes into this mode frequently, with a slight girlishness that is not cutesy. She sounds like a horn more than most singers, working in different keys fluently, and featuring leaping intervals. Pianist Stanley Cowell adds greatly to these proceedings; John Lockwood's bass is a solid foundation and drummer Alan Dawson gives his usual stellar, rhythmically perfect performance. Husband Allan Chase adds alto or soprano sax on a few cuts.” AllMusic
