"St. Stjärna's voice has the sweet, softness of Norah Jones or Lena Horne, a slight hint of the smoky voice of Lee and the soulful strength of Bessie Smith."

“The standout songstress was Jen St. Stjärna,.. Her downtrodden lyrics - about a summer in her aunt's house where plastic slipcovers shroud everything, or about the elusiveness of everlasting love -make an interesting counterpoint to her upbeat melodies... terrific on the keyboards, St. Stjärna’s future as a recording artist is full of promise.”
