What the critics have said:
"A wicked way with a lyric and a glint of well-controlled mischief."
-The New York Times
"Slyly sophisticated, easily accessible, Saloff stands as a kind of ideal."
-Chicago Tribune
"More than ever, there was a simplicity of phrasing, a fine actors way with storytelling, and a musicians mastery of rhythm and time that combined to make her an even more accomplished entertainer. She is, to use a well-worn phrase, at the top of her considerable game."
-Gerry Geddes, Bistro Awards.com, Oct 2016
