Reyna's songwriting is both deeply personal and universally appealing - her songs immediately resonate with the listener. The emotions and observations are clearly heartfelt and her simple but beautiful musical delivery creates even greater impact. No fabrication, every word counts, authentic and true ! ~ John Cadley, award winning songwriter
There is a feeling of open space in Reyna's songs. Uncluttered. Expansive.
~ Joe Crookston, Folk Alliance Album Of The Year
