"...potentially the Next Very Big Thing in the world of dulcet damsels who reign the radio: Sylvie Lewis. " POPMATTERS.COM (February 7, 2005)

“...Los Angeles-based Briton Sylvie Lewis may not cultivate the sort of willful peculiarity that has helped garner headlines for Nellie McKay, but in many ways, the music she makes on Tangos & Tantrums , her debut album, is every bit as striking...thanks to Lewis’s conversational flow... and supported by her band’s spare yet colorful orchestrations... If Lewis’s subjects are effectively variation on time worn themes – head-over-heels romance, lost love, dissolute partners and so on – her perspective is distinctly of the moment.” - Time Out New York (February 3, 2005)

"...Sylvie Lewis delivers songs in a meandering style reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright, with a sweetly expressive voice... her piano-laden debut disc, Tangos &Tantrums, is filled with tales of lives and loves." - New York Post (February 4, 2005)
