All About Jazz by Nick Mondello

 White shows she can cover just about any groove across this expansive spectrum—and do so with flair. Her vocal instrument melds exceptionally well, regardless of the complexity or poetic nature of the lyric of a ballad. She has an enticingly interesting voice, killer intonation, diction, and subtle bravado. Making It Up As We Go Along is an engaging effort from a fine artist and her collaborators whose talents shine throughout with no “fake makes” happening here.”

White is a singer who is as hip as the material she has chosen to include on this album with a voice that immediately grabs your ears, and she digs into each set of words with an understanding that brings them to life. Take a shot at listening to this album and you will be well rewarded.”

JW Vibe by Jonathan Widran

Charisma and charm for days and one of those supple, captivating “could sing the phone book” voices that serves intimate ballads and wild swing tunes equally well, the most memorable part of White’s latest triumph is her way off the beaten path choice of material. In the age of the Golden Bachelor, this is a collection of love songs for mature, world wise folks who’ve been there, done that and want a little crazy spice in their love songs.”

Lauren will hold you spellbound on this performance!”

Midwest Record by Chris Spector

A straight up, jazz vocal date where the only real frills are good vibes and smoking chops, her eclectic tastes keep this from being a one note affair and it sounds like a good time was had by all.  Smoking throughout.​”

 The way that White performs them turns the songs into personal art made public… White’s voice will remind them that her work is in fact, art.”

Jazz2Love by Susan Frances

Finely groomed to a melodic sheen…. White moves through a series of vignettes, each presenting listeners with a sonically picturesque setting… Showing a penchant for telling stories, Lauren White leaves a distinct impression on listener’s mind through her voice.”

JazzWise by Peter Quinn

On this fifth album from LA-based vocalist White, all of the admirable qualities she possesses seem to be perfectly encapsulated on opener ‘If You Never Fall In Love With Me’ — impeccable timing, a beautiful timbre, an impressive range and the ability to put across a story…

Her stellar voice soars on the opening track “If You Never Fall In Love With Me” and gets down with the blues of the title-track “Ever Since The World Ended.” Lauren lets her emotions pour through her on the beautiful ballad “Alone Together” and displays a nostalgic sound with the smooth jazz backdrop of ‘Some Of That Sunshine.’”
