Each of the singers has a lovely voice and is well established as a solo performer. Yet their collaborations, distinguished by intricately woven harmonies, offer an altogether different kind of treat, one which radiates a special glow and warmth. Mike Joyce - Washington Post

For those of us who love this season of the year, yet have tired of the same old holiday songs year in year out, this cd is a breath of fresh air. Rick Russell - Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange

From the year's annual Top 10 Recordings: "Mix the mellifluous voice of Anne Hills with the crystalline soprano of Priscilla Herdman and the calm alto of Cindy Mangsen, throw in some great songs, add a healthy dose of long-term friendship, and the result is a clinic in harmony...The entire project is well conceived, neatly crafted and expertly performed. Who could ask for more?" The Hartford Advocate

"This exquisite trio album from Priscilla, Anne and Cindy weaves and blends three of the loveliest voices in American folk...One of 1990's best albums." Danna Garcia - Canadian River Music

"The only thing better than one beautiful voice is three. Folksingers Priscilla Herdman, Anne Hills and Cindy Mangsen prove the point on their album, Voices." Pioneer Press (Illinois)

"The whole thing is simply so beautiful, and the harmonies so inventive and tight, but the arrangements never get in the way of the songs...Highly recommended." Bill Spence - Andy's Front Hall

"I hightly recommend this CD for the finely tuned vocal blending of these three singers. Definitely a winning combination." Denise Sofranko - Dirty Linen
