Amazon.co.uk Review My One And Only Thrill follows on from Gardot's debut album, Worrisome Heart--a record that established the singer-songwriter as a serious (and seriously global) talent. Fans will be pleased to hear that her seductive mélange of subdued jazz, introspective blues and insouciant pop is continued on this second outing. Mercurial double bass, whispered hi hats and melodic piano and sax flow mellifluously through tracks such as the tranquil “On The Rain”, the torch song “Baby I'm A Fool” and the swinging “Who Will Comfort Me?” Of special note is Gardot’s weightless, samba-fied version of Harold Arlen's “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and the Blue Note-esque “Les Etoiles”. If you love Sinatra, Holiday, Jobim and Fitzgerald, you’ll find it hard not to dig Gardot. --Danny McKenna

Perfect Present for My Dad, 2010-01-13 Dad loves Diana Krall so when I heard this at a friend's, I knew he'd love this too. He's got all Diana Krall's CDs so now he can start with another singer.
Very relaxing CD and beautiful voice, 2009-12-22 This is not the type of music I would usually listen to - the album was on my 'recommended for you' list and I listened to samples and decided I HAD to buy it. Melody Gardot has a very special voice. The album is very relaxing to listen to and I like the instrumentation - muted cornets, a soft and sexy-sounding sax, a typical jazz string bass, and the damper peddle softening the sound of the piano - topped of with Melody's fantastic voice. Beautiful. I have bought tickets for her concert in Bergen and am looking forward to that very much :-)
Revendeur honnète, 2010-02-19 Problème à la livraison. le CD reçu n'a pas l'air d'être neuf.
Après avoir contacté le vendeur, celui-ci m'a remisé la moitié du prix sans discutions.
Wonderful, 2010-03-10 I just love this album. It is mellow music to fall in love by------think low lights, a glass or two of wine, a cosy fire and the company of the person who could be ' the one '. Melody Gardot's voice is low, seductive and so musical.
Very Good, 2010-01-08 Wow, this album is excellent. I wanted to give it five stars but I am very new to the world of Jazz and I don't quite know what is great and what is a little less than great.
You see, I have been a punk rocker for most of my life but I am exploring new avenues and jazz is one of them. I started out with Miles Davis' "Some kind of Blue" and this is my second jazz album, so far so good.
I can't believe this girl is only twenty four. Unbelievable. She sounds so mature, and looks mature, too. This is a great album, very relaxed and beautifully recorded. Highly recommended.
