"The rich sultriness of Yusa's luscious voice allies her with Brazil's new samba singers, but has also led to comparisons with Tracy Chapman, while her harmonic explorations conjure Cassandra Wilson." -- Songlines
"Yusa has arrived as a powerful new voice stocked with a profound knowledge of her musical roots and an innovative reinvention of Cuba." -- Global Rhythm
"Do yourself a favor and embrace the warm charismatic charm of Yusa." -- Jazzwise
