Critic Reviews
Show All-
Downbeat
2018 - These vocalists’ performances are a master class in the art of listening, reacting and then listening even more closely before responding.

Spill Magazine
With a shared love of two of the 20th Century’s greatest songwriters — George and Ira Gershwin — two of jazz’s all time great vocalists, Tony Bennett and Diana Krall, get together and, backed by the Grammy Award-winning Bill Charlap Trio, present an understated master class in vocal delivery and phrasing.

Stage and Cinema
2018 - The good news is that the stars of this pathetic retread of an album had to get back to their lives, touring and what not, so they only had time to lay down about 37 minutes of music.

All Music
Love Is Here to Stay marks their first full record together, and it's an elegant affair. Conceived as a tribute to George Gershwin, the album is filled with familiar tunes, but hints of imagination lurk around the edges
-
Spectrum Culture
2018 - Krall offers Bennett a series of performances in which they sound like musical and lyrical peers, operating within a style that they both feel infinitely comfortable. ... Bennett has lost none of his showmanship and mastery of a good song.

The Straits Times
2018- it is when their voices are tussling in free-form fashion that this album truly shines.

Jazz Review
2018 - All the tracks here are Gershwin compositions and dialogic in arrangement, creating a friendly back-and-forth between the singers. There’s little in the way of extra detail in their exchanges, however – any asides or the like are kept reserved, and relatively minimal instrumentation completes the less-is-more picture.

Jazz Blues News
2018 - The two artists deliver a real lesson in singing, taking over some of the most famous standards of American popular music with a mixture of authority and ease that only a perfect mastery of their art can obtain.
