“Highly Recommended. Smart, entertaining…Mr. Harnar’s singing is as creamy as ever. But this crooner has developed enough of a swagger to give the Sinatra swingers the punch they need.” -The New York Times
“Harnar’s polished performance recalls a music era dominated by romanticism. The songs are timely again today… lilting lyric grace and finger-snappin’ bounce.” -Variety
“I wish Sammy could’ve seen this show. He would’ve loved it. I certainly did.” -Liza Minnelli
“I discover something new in a lyric every time I hear Jeff Harnar sing.” -Michael Feinstein
