• Best of 1991 Top 10 - Tower Records PULSE!
• 1991 Top 10 Winning Favourite - The Scotsman, Scotland's National Newspaper

"Listen to her! Calling all singers and aspiring vocalists - This is how to sing! This album is a revelation, and Connie Dover's voice is the most formidable I have come across in a very long time . . . a selection of songs that demonstrate to capacity her magnificent control, superb diction (you can hear every word) and ravishing style that is very rarely heard these days."

Michael Roberts, Celtic Connection, Canada 

"In all honesty, two words sum up everything that needs to be said: Buy immediately . . . The status of best female folk singer, long in closed contention between Black, Prior, Tabor and Keane - is no longer an unattainable goal for Miss Dover. She has a sparkling, crystal-clear, mellow voice that can only spring from another world: pure magic . . . an unparalleled female vocalist."

"She may have arisen from the land of hamburgers, cowboys and cola, but Celtic musical blood runs through her veins."

Marius Roeting, New FolkSounds,
Netherlands 

"Connie Dover's singing and voice can be compared to the great female voices in modern folk music."

Claus Iwersen, Jydske/Vestkysten, Denmark 

"A superlative work . . . the vocals are impeccably lush; the production is magnificent, the choice of material superb."

Brian O'Donovan, WGBH-FM, Boston 

"Connie Dover is an astonishing talent; Somebody, her first album, is required listening for everyone who loves traditional vocal music . . . it is simply enchanting . . . Dover has a mesmerizing voice."

Patrick Quinn, The Note 

"This is an extraordinary album of superb singing; a pulsing, vibrant joy from the very first track to the last."

Alastair Clark, The Scotsman 

"Connie sings like a nightingale, with a persuasive, crystalline voice . . . One of the best Celtic music productions of the 90's, Somebody puts its creator on a plane with the greatest interpreters of the genre, and unabashedly so. A must have!

Massimo Ferro, La Voce, Italy 

"A gentle, splendid album."

Cliff Furnald, CMJ New Music Report 

"Dover's voice is a wonderful instrument, rich in tone with a sadness in it as old as the hills. Somebody is truly an auspicious debut."

Michael Tearson, Audio 

"I have fallen in love with her songs . . . her timbre is silky and serene. Listening to her voice, I am enraptured by her."

Li Fen-De, Sound & Sight
Journal, Singapore 

"Her voice is without doubt the innovative element that distinguishes her work . . rich in nuances . . . This is a new vision of the enigmatic musical world of the Celts, which is treated with respect and a great deal of professionalism."

Chip Montagut, CD Compact,
Barcelona 

"Her forte is certainly the interpretation of music from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, which she does here with a freshness rarely captured on record."

RPM, Canada 

"This well-balanced, intelligent and exciting package will usher a fresh, angelic voice into a new decade of folk music . . . once you hear this angelic voice, you'll want to buy any recording she's on . . . the proof is in the hearing and I'm sure all will love it as I do. I want to personally thank Connie for sticking to her dream so we can all share in the celebration." Saul Tucker, Pitch, Kansas Ci
