"Linda Ipanema gives a song a personal feeling. Hearing her distinctive sound generates the same sense of excitement I first felt when Barbara Streisand was my TV vocalist. Her great vitality generates the crowds to fever pitch."
~ Joe Franklin

"From the red hot mama Sophie Tucker school of singing, with some Kay Starr brass added, Ipanema is boisterous, fiery, and passionate in her delivery, recalling the days of music halls, revues, and vaudeville. Ipanema's showmanship comes through loud most times, softer other times, but always clear."
~ Dave Nathan, All Music Guide

"As I approached the Daily News stage, a loud clear voice could be heard. Over the heads of the crowd I saw this slight built woman with a big voice. She was Linda Ipanema of the Dixie Cats. She was in a Time Machine because she belted out tunes that go back to the Swing Era. Linda had the crowd in her hands. They were clapping and moving to the beat. There was joy in her voice along with great vocal talent."

"Thank you and the Dixie Cats for the fantastic Dixieland concert. Your choice of music was perfect and your energy and enthusiasm had them literally dancing in the isle!"
