On her website, a review written by Derk Richardson of The San Francisco Bay Guardian states: "A jazz pianist who can write and sing like Laura Nyro and Carol King, a prize-winning folk fiddler who will interpret a John Coltrane tune through a French vocal or add her own lyrics to one of Django Reinhardt's last compositions, Higbie brings all her gifts to bear..."
