"The Swiss-Polish-Japanese vocalist, pianist, and composer creates complex soundscapes with piano and vocal improvisation that stretch from pop to avant-garde."

— Jazzwise Magazine (UK)
“Yumi Ito is a multifaceted and visionary musician who has forged a uniquely personal path as a jazz singer-songwriter.”

— Radio Bremen Zwei (DE)
“The vocal surfing between styles is extraordinary, and it’s hard to believe that all these tracks feature the voice of a single artist. I can’t stop listening. A fantastic album!”

— Wprost Kultura Magazine (PL)
“Rich arrangements and a voice that spans a vast vocal range.”

— SKJazz Magazine (SK)
"Swiss singer Yumi Ito seems to know hardly any limits vocally. She intones perfectly, captivates with improvisations that she intersperses in the songs. Effortlessly she measures a wide tonal space. "

Hessisch-niederhässische Allgemeine Zeitung (DE)
"Yumi Ito's vocal artistry captivates, but that's not all. As a singer, composer and pianist, she has developed a style that cannot be reduced to a simple term. Art-pop somewhere between Tori Amos, Björk and Jazz."

– Georg Pepl (DE)
