"these are from the 1950's when the voice was still in fine condition and its artistry most magnetic"
- Penguin Guide

"The intensity of "La mamma morta", the pathos of "Poveri fiori", the sauciness of "Una voce", the breezy joy of "Mercé, dilette amiche" are all there to be admired...but the 'plum'...is undoubtedly that haunting piece "L'altra notte".. sums up all that is most truthful & perceptive in her singing...what singer...could bring such variety of feeling, so many different colours of tone even to this lighter repertory? I know of none."
- Gramophone
