"Sweetly hip." -- Songwriter's Monthly"Refreshing....Imbued with the songwriting and vocal qualities of Carole King, Judy Collins and Norah Jones. Each song on Big Blue Moon is produced to perfection and should appeal to Tolar’s fans because of their beauty, relevance and intimacy." -- Paula Edelstein, Suite101.com"....warm, masterfully written music." -- Paul Paradis, Allmusicblog"A bright mix of Folk and Jazz with a distinct Pop sensibility that should garner a lot of attention for Sarah Tolar. As a songwriter she shows flashes of brilliance...fans who appreciate great music and great songwriting will eat this up." -- Wildy Haskell, Wildy's World"[a] waify but iron willed singer... a young pro with lite jazz leanings amid her folkie musings, Tolar has a lot on the ball and conveys it nicely." -- Chris Spector, Midwest Record"Tolar proves that contemporary jazz can be sexy, in an unfussy, silk-and-red-wine sort of way...[Big Blue] Moon opts for steady sophistication rather than stylized showiness, which speaks well of Tolar’s self-awareness as an artist and makes for a moving debut album." -- Lara Crombie, WeHeartMusic.com
