"She alchemizes her own stories into songs that are at once bold and dreamy, pristine little gems of great nuance. ...I think Curtis may have gone and created her own genre, and she owns it masterfully. Just beauteous." - Kevan Breitinger, Indie-Music.com
"Catch this pure-voiced singer now, and it will be like you were lucky enough to see the Dixie Chicks when they were playing street corners."
- Brad Kava, Music Critic, San Jose Mercury News
"Fantastic songs, good musicians, and most of all, a brilliant voice."
- Dirk Stursberg, Radio 98.6, Berlin, Germany
"Sugar & Sand is full-out, pure passion. Jayme Kelly Curtis's vocals give a ton of heart to the songs and the music adds flesh to that passion, emphasizing the tones of each mood." - Paul de Bruijn, Rambles.net
"What stands out most memorably from Jayme Kelly Curtis is her voice — strong, clear and passionately expressive. Different styles on the musical spectrum, intriguing lyrics and the same enchanting voice make this release [Sugar & Sand] a trifecta. Enjoy."
- Kevin's Celtic & Folk Music CD Reviews
"Subtitled A Triology in Three Moods, Curtis can call it what she wants. I'm going to call it music worth your listening to, for throughout the twelve songs that create this lush and evocative disc you can hear in her thrillingly passionate vocals and intelligently eclectic mix of musical motifs and instruments that Curtis loves her life and inspires us to do the same."
- Mike Jurkovic, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
