Some quotes:
I was drawn in to this labyrinth of passion that her music is about ... her voice is raspy, smoky and deep there"--JazzImprov
New sound that takes jazz to a new direction"--eJazzNews
Her vocal approach is fiercely original, both rooted in, and departing from, the tradition. In aesthetic approach recalling both Billie Holiday and Betty Carter's, Sofia Laiti finds some new ways of bending the notes in crucial parts on standard"--Philippe Baron, Le Grand Jazz
Charismatic"--Jazziz
Powerful"--Cadence
Vocal virtuosity"--Monthly Herald
