Critical Acclaim
- If you want to hear a singer’s singer, one who can move you to the core of your being with her way of interpreting a song, Wynonna Judd’s deeply moving, authentic Sing: Chapter 1 is a fine place to begin. This may be her finest hour.
Thom Jurek/All Music Guide
- ...it’s hard not to get chills when Wynonna wraps her rich and soulful voice around the string arrangement [I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry]; the album’s mix of styles is refreshing and the music should work very well on stage the next time the star hits the road.
Advance News Service
- Earthy and warm, with a voice like sandpaper and honey, Judd may be the best country-rock interpreter since Linda Ronstadt...and anyone who thinks that Judd can’t make swift work out of vintage Tammy Wynette [Till I Get it Right] just hasn’t been paying attention.
Washington Post
- Wynonna has never paid attention to boundaries...and, as always, she’s all the better for it.
Associated Press
- Wynonna Judd covers a lot of ground on her new, astonishingly good album of standards....this has to be the most artistically successful release of Wynonna’s career. The song selection is impeccable. The production genius. Whatever Judd tries, she absolutely nails.
Napster.com
- Her [Wynonna] ferocious performances of “I Hear You Knocking” and “The House is a Rockin’” could single-handedly revive the long-dormant Best Female Rock Performance Grammy.

- Wynonna has always used her music to express what she feels inside, but this record gets even deeper. Sing: Chapter 1 is a unique album that deserves a listen.
About.com
