April, 2004 CD Journal p212 2nd CD Shooting Star
「フレッシュな感性が光る才媛、緒方美音子が待望のセカンド・アルバムを発表。
全曲彼女のオリジナルで構成されており、印象的なメロディを、ラテンやスウィングなど、
さまざまなリズムに乗せて、自分の世界をハッピーに語っていく。共演者二人のサポートも見逃せない。」



2007 CD Journal 3rd CD[mineko melody]の紹介転載
マイ・ペースで音楽活動を展開しながら、着実にファンを増やしているピアニストの３作目。
心弾むスウィンギィなナンバーから、ゆったりと語りかけてくるようなバラードまで、
どの曲の演奏にもポジティヴな感情が満ちている。森の陽だまりで聴きたいピアノ・ソロ作。
