Bill Bevis- Writer, The Last Best Place, Ten Tough Trips
“Eden's voice is clear and beautiful and smart and sexy. It's a delight, finding such freshness in the midst of such sophistication, like a Charlie Russell painting in Paris.”

Dan McClenaghan- AllAboutJazz.com
“Atwood is a gifted singer with a sublime, delicate delivery, that is sometimes breathy, always nicely nuanced, always under complete control; a singer with an obvious passion for her craft. Her sad and sultry take Berlin's "How Deep is the Ocean" that will make you cry or fall in love with Atwood, maybe both.”

-- Dan McClenaghan- AllAboutJazz.com
Edwin Dobb- Writer, Harpers Magazine
“Eden Atwood paints with an uncommonly rich vocal palette. Smooth, saucy, seductive, or soaring, cool, coy, plaintive or just plain down and dirty, Eden Atwood and The Last Best Band can do it all, and all with infectious joy.”

-- Edwin Dobb- Writer, Harpers Magazine
Bill Kohlhaase, writer, LA Times, Tributary
“Eden brings to mind the muscle and ribald emphasis of Etta James and Ernestine Anderson, the warmth and conviction of Sarah Vaughan, the honesty of Irene Kral, the acrobatics of Betty Carter, the fragility of Billie Holiday. Eden Atwood is the real thing.”

-- Bill Kohlhaase, writer, LA Times, Tributary
