• Rob Lester's Review: "Simply put, Joan Jaffe is adorable.  An old-school performer with a flair for vaudeville and shtick, she has a smile in her voice.  Her delivery is that of a pro and she puts personalithy into everything, always game for a bit of goofiness and makes 'silly' into an art form.  Uncomplicated, just eager to please, her CD is a modest, merry breath of fresh air.  Its title puts it plainly and delivers on its plucky promise: Joan Jaffe Sings Funny... Joan colores her words judiciously with a comic's touch, injecting mood and attitude into single words and phrases; frustration, excitement over little things, confusion, shoulder-shrugging, occasional character voices.  Having seen her cabaret act of the same name, with these songs, I'm happy to report that this very visual performer of many faces, with eyes that light up and ever-changing facial expressions, manages to get so much into these vocal inflections for an album recorded in a studio...One needn't struggle for words to describe the work of Joan Jaffe on her album.  It works.  She is so...deliciously amusing." - Rob Lester-Talkin' Broadway Sound Advice

• Kevin Scott Hall's Review:  "Joan Jaffe has been making quite a splash this year with her first solo cabaret show, 'Joan Jaffe Sings Funny..."  She was nominated for a MAC Award for Musical Comedy and now...the CD!...Recorded with the great Jerry Scott on piano, the recording is a pleasant throwback to the '50s when Carol Burnett, Kaye Ballard and Lily Tomlin started their careers by sing comic nubers...Jaffe tackles Kander & Ebb, Francesca Blumenthal and Murray Grand.  My personal favorite is 'I'm Never Bored,' a valentine to the New York that nearly kills but never bores us." - Kevin Scott Hall, "Kevin Kabaret", EdgeNewYork.com
