Entertainment Reviews:
Down Beat - p.80
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]s impressive as McKay is as a vocalist, it's her offbeat, sometimes outlandish approach as a conceptualist and arranger that makes NORMAL AS BLUEBERRY PIE special."JazzTimes - p.75
"She opens and closes with, respectively, 'The Very Thought of You' and 'I Remember You,' bookending the album with heartfelt notes of admiration."Paste (magazine) - "McKay shows a genuine love and respect for her subject, not to mention a seemingly intuitive understanding of the long-forgotten appeal of singer/actress Doris Day..."
Pitchfork (Website) - "Irony-free, McKay channels Day's elegance and liveliness on not only swing, Dixieland, and showtunes, but also makes detours into bossa nova and western-inspired songs."
