“In the charged company of her small band, McNulty proves worthy of a frontline instrument on rhythm tunes and bright tempos.  The delicate melodic improvising [she] floats on Horace Silver’s “Lonely Woman” is focused and finely wrought.  McNulty plays with rhythm authoritatively; there’s not a hesitant note or second guessed choice to be heard.  Her own title tune is a quietly intense lover’s plea wrapped in liquid glisses and keening rhythm.”  4 stars

“Australian-born New Yorker Chris McNulty is a classy singer in the classic style, emoting from the heart and giving the lyrics their full meaning, but more than capable of mixing it with the band and improvising with the best of them.”  4 stars
— Cormac Larkin, The Irish Times, February 2013

​

“…a terrific ability to trace serpentine routes.  On “Lonely Woman” and “Last Night When We Were Young” she tempers the prevailing melancholy with an undercurrent of hope-fueled anticipation, resulting in a fascinating sense of looking simultaneously backward and forward.”
—Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes March 2013

​

“…the singers story telling gift has you hanging on every phrase. She also contributes  a brace of songs – the first, the hauntingly beautiful “Letter to Marta”, the second “Long Road Home – The Song That Sings You Here”, features jazz singing of the highest order. McNulty has never sounded more at ease with her mastery.”
— Peter Quinn, Jazz Wise UK March 2013

“Australian-born vocalist McNulty has a wide range and sings with strength and great clarity. Although her approach is strong and upfront she is a lyrical stylist and she integrates well into the band to make this a seamless performance with the voice working as one of the instruments. Her expressive style makes the listener aware of the words and the thoughts behind them and convinces that she is expressing herself through them.” 5 stars

“Need a five star vocal CD? Ten tracks of superior jazz singing.”
— Don Albert artlink.co.za May 2013

​

“A beautifully personal record that swings and sways with the best of them, The Song That Sings You Here is a treat for those looking for some kind of truth. McNulty’s vocals are warm and involving, revealing spheres of love, loss and mystery through these 10 special songs.”
— Jordan Richardson, Something Else! Reviews, January 2013

​

“An absolute must for any jazz vocal fan, this is a winner throughout.”
— Midwest Record, December 2012

​

“An incredibly moving yet somehow delightfully entertaining session that will long be remembered after the last note fades out. One of the most beautiful vocal records that I have heard in years.”
