Critics Rave

“What a jewel! An act that literally takes your breath away…she has an impressive range, perfect intonation, and awesome phrasing. …Linda Purl is one solid hour of seamless enchantment.” — Rex Reed, New York Observer

“From the vision of loveliness that is Linda Purl one expects a charming soprano,not the elegant throaty tones reminiscent of no less than Julie London.”
