““Broadway’s loss is Atlanta’s gain! It’s not very often that a talent like this emerges and takes her rightful place—on stage. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss. From jazz, blues, big band, swing, standards, R&B and gospel…you name it, and Alston is at home with it. She has a range and style all her own. Comfortable with the tenderest of melodies, and then exploding with her powerful, God-given sound. She commands the stage and takes everyone within listening distance right along with her, on that oh so beautiful ride. Her comedic timing and way with an audience is first rate. If she’s in your area, do yourself a favor and run, don’t walk to see her. You’ll be so glad you did!“ ”
— Rex Reed, The (New York) Observer
