| AllMusic |   [1] |
Velasquez's voice is difficult to hear on the beginning of "Autumn Leaves," a problem which plagues other songs here, including "Sometime Somewhere," "If You Go Away," "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life," and "Run To You," among others.[1] She sings in a very high, thin register in the beginning of many songs, and this probably contributes to the problem, but the technical mixing could have been better, too.[1]
