From REVIEWS of Everything Must Change:
A jazz singer...steeped in experience with a "no fear" soul...
The double-shot of experience and exuberance is what characterizes Krebs' art, and she spreads both liberally on Everything Must Change.
With Everything Must Change, Krebs ascends to a point of recognition, one richly deserved. (C. Michael Bailey/All About Jazz)
Krebs has the latitude to make the music she wants to make and add her own special sauce as and when needed. Here we have an intimate, gutsy jazz vocal date...and she once again shows that she can handle any facet of jazz singing. (Chris Spector/Midwest Record)
Krebs' music wraps itself around the listener like a big hug. How can one not enjoy the whole grain, organic pleasure of jazz classics about spring, love, flowers, and stars? (Joe Ross/BlogCritics.org)
Krebs displays her love of good songs, as well as the emotional and symbiotic relationship that she intimately has with them. Throughout the entire set she exudes confidence, delivering the musical goods...a sincere singer whose ballads and sense of swing remind me of Shirley Horn.
