"'Once Before' är en jämn och lite annorlunda musikalisk skapelse av Rachel Goodrich från Miami, USA, som jag garanterat kommer att botanisera fram fler toner av, efter att ha lyssnat på den här sprillans färska skivan. Provlyssning rekommenderas!"
- Torbjörn Berlin / Berlin Calling -
"Jag hade förmånen att tjuvlyssna på nya albumet med den ytterst raffinerade jazzsångerskan Rachel Goodrich. Om man tänker på smeksamma långsamma ballader som gör att man får Norah Jones röst, Chet Bakers skönhet i musiken, och lite av det melankoliska av Billie Holiday i frasering. Det är en perfekt välklädd draperad jazzig skiva som skulle fungera på Blue Note i New York eller i en pianobar på Grand Hotell i Stockholm."
- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -
"Rachel Goodrich's new album, 'Once Before', dives into the highs and lows of falling in and out of love, offering listeners an emotional and musical journey. The album’s minimalist arrangements allow Rachel’s evocative vocals to take center stage, creating a sense of intimacy that transports the audience to a candlelit jazz lounge."
- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -
"Rachel Goodrich is a fine entertaining singer. I predict she’ll capture an audience that enjoys the vocal stylization of lounge and easy listening aficionados. She isn’t going to be nostalgic, no, she’s going to make her music always sound like the genre never went away."
- John Apice / Americana Highways -
"Rachel Goodrich is a good singer and guitarist, and has a band which suits her style. If you like good vocal jazz then this is well worth your attention."
- Mike Davies / Fatea Magazine -
"Jazzy mood swinging songs can be heard on the latest album release of Miami based multi instrumentalist Rachel Goodrich. Feelings of love in a positive sense and the atmosphere after the ending of a relationship are forming the basics of the 8 tracks on her new mini album, 'Once Before'."
- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
"Yes, many comparisons with performers and singers from an older time can be found in the way Rachel Godrich performs her material , but this setup and produced edition fits very well into the present time."
