“She is fearless in her improvising and holds her own with the fast company.”
(By jazz historian Scott Yanow, 2018)

“McBee is adventurous and explorative (…). Her vocal tone is audacious and bold.
She is not afraid to use her voice in the most envelope pushing ways.”("5-Finger-Review" by Elberton Cisnero, 12/23rd 2018)
“McBee is not an a-typical vocalist, her sense of phrasing, timing and ability to navigate (…) melodies is a task most vocalists would struggle to endure. (…) Her ability to tackle and ever moving harmonic landscape further exemplifies her command vocally.” ("Chalked Up Reviews" by Amity Hereweard, 07/19th 2018)
“Angular and muscular this is not a vocalist singing standards album, this is a lyricist deeply committed to the lyrics and melodies she is singing.” ("Staccatofy” by Steph Cosme, 02/7th 2018)
