• Monterey County Weekly - Fichot has built a gorgeous globe-spanning repertoire. (Andrew Gilbert)

• Chico News & Review - By American standards, she's a throwing knife skill and lair full of tamed tigers away from being a real-life Bond Girl. (Ken Smith)

• from Tom Schnabel, host of "Cafe L.A." KCRW (April 2007) - "I was completely knocked out by it (the album) It's a very fresh and energetic sound. There are not that many people making this kind of music - even in France."

• Detroit Metro Times - Her worldly tunes (are) delivered with a wholesome sweetness. (Megan O'Neil)

• from KCRW (April 1st, 2007) - KCRW's host Tom Schnabel was so impressed by Jessica Fichot's debut CD that he immediately tracked her down and invited her to the studios of KCRW for a live performance and interview. This young and multi-talented chanteuse turned in an enchanting performance - her radio debut - so (...) be prepared to be delighted by this star on the rise.
