“Her joy in the act of singing is obvious throughout the entirety of Comes Love. Dame combines a freshness of approach, like the unpredictability of shifting meters used to insert tension and increase the excitement of ‘Yesterdays,’ with an unaffected fondness for the music she sings. That fondness is evident in the unadorned respect she pays for a classic song like ‘What’ll I Do?’ The result is a clear-eyed approach to her material that remains accessible to a broad cross section of listeners, potentially enlarging the audience for jazz.”
