"...Leib's interpretations are exemplary. "It Might As Well Be Spring" absolutely combusts with desire; the title track becomes a joyous cascade of freedom chimes; "The Thrill Is Gone" is a thundering nightmare of anguish; Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" gently unfolds, Leib's gently countrified reading evocative of Rickie Lee Jones, and, most arresting, the gossamer "So This Is Love" (from Disney's Cindarella) is reinvented as a passion-fired samba." -JazzTimes
"Leib can sound soft and innocent...but she can also be soulful and funny...Leib's voice is strong and versatile and she sounds convincing in whatever style she chooses... - Cadence Magazine
"An accomplished jazz vocalist, performer, and teacher...Leib's voice floated over the accompaniment with presence and authority". - Gary Parks, LiveSound Magazine
"Leib delivers warm, inviting vocals over fresh new arrangements of classic and contemporary tunes. This is a really nice debut of a great, new talent on the contemporary jazz vocal landscape."
Leib "possesses a plush sound and a brimming musical imagination..." - Andrew Gilbert, Berkeleyside.com
"Leib is a captivating talent, possessing admirable arranging skills and a flexible voice capable evoking smiles, sighs or sadness, depending on the topic at hand...Secret Love is a sign of all that is right about vocal jazz today." - Dan Bilawsky, AllAboutJazz.com 2012
"High-energy vocalist Sara Leib reinvents scatting..." - San Francisco Examiner
Leib has expertly crafted her inherent craft. Hailed as having unstandardized the standard, her voice is for those of you who like rules and then like to break them. - Laura Donny, Jewish Journal
A unique and imaginative performance that scores well across the board...Sara Leib is far more than a singer, Leib is an artist. Make no mistake that Leib can hold her own with any singer on any stage and while her vocal trick bag is as full as they come, Leib has the more important intangible qualities of knowing when to go for it and when to dial it back for even better effect...As entertaining a vocal release as you may hear for the year...
