"Not all ingénues grow up gracefully. But Broadway and cabaret star Andreas' tangy soprano has matured into an eclectic, appealing instrument that is well suited to most of the standards and showstoppers featured here."
- Elysa Gardner, USA Today

"Christine Andreas has accomplished the remarkable feat of making us recall each great star she honors on this album and then, at the same time, making us forget them as we listen to her fresh, new, exciting and often breathtaking interpretations of their songs.  Here's to the Ladies...is dazzling!"
- Jerry Herman, August, 2002

"A blend of lyricism and sweet sensuality that only the finest Broadway voices can conjure.  Although Ms. Andreas can be witty and playful, it is on the ballads (especially "They Say It's Wonderful" and "Bill") in which she delicately kills with the sheer beauty of her voice."
- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
