“Love in the Afternoon” is a beautiful and passionate song… A beautiful and melodic double bass, performed by the one and only Stanley Clark, provides the rhythmic and low-end treatment, giving the song it’s forward sense of dreamlike motion.
… Pauline knows how to move the energy of her voice up and down like the waves of an ocean… luscious and expressive. “Love in the Afternoon” is a song that truly encompasses the feeling of true love, and it does so with such style and passion.”

Another masterpiece by Frechette.”

"“With the first passage of warm piano keys and cello, I’m immediately transported to memories of standing outside at night after the first snowfall of the season. Everything is covered and there’s a peaceful silence surrounding me.
“ ‘A Winters Tale’ is imaginative, beautifully performed and recorded, and though it could be considered a holiday song, the mood is lighthearted without being overtly ‘Holiday Song’ sounding making it a great listen all year… This song brings an integrity and expression that is very much welcome to my holiday ears.”
