"Kershaw has a rich, clear and pure voice and is a skilled interpreter of songs. I Get a Kick Out of You is beautifully sung and accompanied by a tinkling piano whose notes seem to fall as lightly as rain. Her rendition of Cry Me A River is filled with emotion with tortured vocals and is a true showstopper."
