Reviews:
“Under Your Spell is a fully realized throwback that doesn't sound a day over the rainbow. Made up of five standards and seven smacking, swinging originals, Under Your Spell goes a long way towards blowing on the coals of mainstream jazz vocals. Vos' compositions fit seamlessly with the standards.”—Michael Bailey, All About Jazz
“Vos' recording gives ballroom smooth and torchlight swing a modern gloss. The songs have a Peggy Lee-style attractiveness and a Cole Porter-clad elegance.”—Susan Frances, Yahoo

“Taken as a whole - performance and recording - this is one of the best albums I have heard all year. Thisbe Vos is a name you'll remember, not just because it’s exotic, but because it reminds you of music making at the highest level.”—Rad Bennett, Soundstage Xperience
