Jazzmagasiner skriver ennå om Playsong - The music of Bill Evans:

 

Bill Jacobs - Sonic Wheel (USA):5 stars Among the most beautiful and touching jazz ever recorded.

On Playsong you will find some of the most beautiful and touching jazz ever recorded. Hilde's unique ability to touch hearts and souls with her voice can only be attributed to her intelligence, integrity, empathy, and humility, together with a lot of talent and hard word...all qualities rare in the music industry. Add several of the best jazz musicians in the world today, and you have another very special Hilde Hefte album.

 

Nordishe Musik (Tyskland): 5stars

 

Orkesterjournalen (Sverige):

 

The first thing that strikes you is how beautiful Hilde Hefte and her musicians are taking care of this historical music. She is a vocalist who is listening. Playsong is not an ego-project, this album is not made for showing everybody her musical talent. It feels like Hilde Hefte is a part of this group. Really wonderful.

 

 

The music magazine Jazz Stage (Sweden):

 

Hilde Hefte has managed holding an non-artistical atitude, and the result is an interpretation that I would call heartfelt. It is Hilde Hefte who is touching my heart.

 

 

Jazz Spesial (Danmark):

 

Hilde Hefte interpreterer Evans med varme og den er krystallklar.... det beste albumet siden Bill Evans egne innspillinger med Tony Bennett.

 

 

Jazzpodium (Tyskland):

 

Playsong er lyrisk, elegant og sofistikert. Nydelig at Hilde Hefte starter dette albumet uten ord, men kun synger pianissimo og vart. Som komponist er Bill Evans et geni og det er også jazzvokalist Hilde Hefte.

 

Kåret av Jazznytt til årets beste jazzalbum.

 

24timers jazzradiostasjon i San Francisco: It's breathtaking.
