“Elin is not a dark singer. This is not a criticism. Brazilian jazz celebrates that which is radiant and joyous and moving and in this regard, Elin more than matches the material she sings.” All About Jazz (Junio 2007)

“Zeal, ambition and musical ESP fire Elin’s Lazy Afternoon… [she] delivers a debut that has all the wonder of a magical discovery... Elin draws you in, turning familiar songs into an intimate and personal concert. Like a Frank Sinatra devotee, she controls the song’s tempo and demeanor through her lush phrasing and luxurious delivery, each word flowing like liquid chocolate.” Ken Micallef (Down Beat Magazine (Enero 2007))

“Elin's story is one of dogged determination…she's a Swede who fell in love with Brazilian music, then fell in love with jazz, decided she would learn Portuguese and immerse herself in Brazilian culture, and finally put it all together to become a singer of Brazilian jazz. Lazy Afternoon is the evidence that she succeeded beautifully in accomplishing her goal…Elin proves a skillful improviser, a clever manipulator of melody and a confident bandleader...this European with Brazil in her blood has thoroughly carried out her dream.” Jeff Tamarkin (AllMusic.com (Agosto 2006))

“Lazy Afternoon has the sultry, laid-back feeling so frequently brought on by the smooth sounds of Brazilian jazz. [Elin] is also a strong songwriter, fitting her work well into this deceptively challenging genre. With a unique blend of cultural influences to incorporate and combine, and her biggest strength being her versatile vocal work, Elin could have a bright and musical future ahead of her.” GlobalRhythm.net (Marzo 2007)
