"In Alex Pangman's musical world, hot tunes flow like bathtub gin in a back-alley speakeasy. She roars through a repertoire of vintage swing and blues, possessed by the coltish spirit of a young Mildred Bailey or Ella Fitzgerald. There are champagne bubbles in Pangman's voice as she growls, sighs and wears her heart on her sleeve. There's a lot of nudging and winking with today's neo-trad jazz stylists. Not Pangman. She plays it straight and she plays for keeps."

The Montreal Gazette, Mary Lamey

"It's time-travel magic whenever Alex Pangman breathes into a microphone and evokes the great jazz femmes of the 1920s, 30s and 40s."

Lenny Stoute, The Toronto Star

Mike Bullard

"Next up was singer Alex Pangman, who trolls the cusp of classic jazz and swing music for her material, grooving tunes like "Let Yourself Go," which brought out the day's first dancers. Pangman moves from sweetness to grit, bridging the gap between artistic esthetic and popular entertainment."

Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star

"The First time I heard her voice on CBC radio I was knocked out by her quivering, sensual voice and that relaxed but swinging vibe…. Pangman's affinity for the material is so natural, free and flowing that it's uncanny. She has a powerful voice that commands attention".

Gary Tate, T.O Night

"Canada's sweetheart of swing!"

Dan Barrett

"Pangman's voice was extraordinary in its maturity, matched only by her ability to interpret music that was written almost half a century before she was born."

"I think Alex Pangman is one of Canada's national treasures. Her music is timeless, her voice is priceless, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather listen to..."

Jaymz Bee, JAZZ.FM91

Strong and deep, Pangman's voice is well suited to the music, instantly transporting you to a smoke-filled piano bar in the '20s. Her naturally expressive vocals effortlessly take her from the mellow tones of Through the Courtesy of Love to the upbeat It's Unanimous Now."

Nita Singh, York University's Excalibur

There's a lot to be said about simplicity in our lives and a lot of musical artists live by that creedo. One such person is singer Alex Pangman. She likes her music pure and simple. Alex specializes in the repertoire of blues and jazz that first came out in the 20s 30s and 40s… I love the way this album is recorded."

After Hours, CBC radio, Ross Porter

"Pangman charms the listener with her sweet n' sassy slightly gritty vocal style ideally suited to the hot jazz and traditional swing songs of the 1920s, '30s and '40s."

Nick Pitt, Sensation Records

"Her Voice shimmers with vitality"

Mike Beggs, Mississauga News

"This stunning debut by 22 year old swing vocalist Alex Pangman will knock your socks off! Alex sings like an angel on Classic American songs from the 20s and 30s. Ardour, gorgeous tones and imagination capture fifteen songs. A beautifully recorded jewel from Canada's Sweetheart of Swing!"

Doug Willison, Big Band World

"At age 22 Pangman must truly be one of the youngest of the Red Hot Mamas. She is just plain wonderful and treats the old chestnuts with the respect these tunes deserve.Very much in the tradition of such imortals as Annette Hanshaw, Ruth Etting and Connie Boswell. Alex just captivates. She sounds great at 22 and I hope I live long evough to hear her when her young voice matures. She's gonna' develop a growl that just won't quit! Wow!
