"Five Stars ... a top notch recital of wonderful American songs, captured in pristine sound. I am not sure I have heard a finer American song album (in 20 years) ... Pentatone captures the sound in as fine a fashion as we have come to expect ..."
- Audiophile Audition
"... nicely programmed, very well performed and very decently recorded production indeed ... you will find some highly entertaining music which can tickle the imagination and widen the horizons ... a highly commendable release ... an entertaining and stimulating recital."
- MusicWeb International
"... especially fine and worthy of attention is the vocal artistry of American soprano Lisa Delan. Not only does she have an extremely attractive voice, displaying remarkable agility and musical precision, but she imbues her renditions with tremendous personality, which is utilized generously ..."
- Fanfare
And If the Song be Worth a Smile, a collection of songs by American composers, is the debut solo recording from soprano Lisa Delan. She is accompanied on these songs by pianist Kristin Pankonin and joined by guest artists Matt Haimovitz on cello and mezzo-soprano Susanne Mentzer.
