“Tranchina’s lithe, clear; elegant singing evokes Sade, Flora Purim, Corinne Drewery (Swing Out Sister), and that “Girl From Ipanema,” Astrud Gilberto. ...—She uses her voice a bit like an instrument but never at the expense of the song. This set will fly you ‘round the world in a happy daze.”

  - Mark Keresman Icon Magazine

“Gabriele Tranchina, whose third release, Of Sailing Ships and the Stars in Your Eyes, demonstrates the singer's firm grasp across styles, genres, and, yes, languages. The singer's voice is singular and well-balanced, capable of low purrs and assertive exuberance. Refined and fine is Of Sailing Ships and the Stars in Your Eyes.”

   - Michael Bailey – All about jazz

“ Tranchina can swing with the vivacity of Anita O’Day and echo the fragility of Astrud Gilberto on ballads, but there is nothing derivative in her kaleidoscopic flourishes, embracing chants, rap, spoken passages and vocalese.”

  - Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes

“…It is clear from Tranchina’s performance that she is a vocalist of the highest order. Her style is not conventional. ...When she interprets the narrative of a song and gets in to character, she has few peers.”

  - Raul da Gama, LatinJazz.net

“Tranchina is a vocalist with a unique sound. There is the fragility of Stacey Kent and Astrud Gilberto but with the tonal quality of Nadia Basurto”

  - Ian Lomax, Jazz Journal
