“By day, this Nashville transplant is a music therapist; by night, she’s a soul singer with a compassionate, uplifting voice.” Ann Powers (NPR Music)
“What Armstrong’s doing wouldn’t be out of place alongside Jill Scott’s or Ruthie Foster’s catalogs.” CMT Edge (Country Music Television)
“Armstrong embraces repetitive internal rhythms that emerge in some of her songwriting — likening them to both gospel spirituals and the viscerally simplistic utterances of her former patients — and she’s delivering her roots-soul originals with articulate warmth and newly claimed authority” Jewly Hight- Nashville Scene
