Reviews for "Feeling Good":
"One hears echoes of such greats as Stan Getz, Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson, as well as the spare solo piano renderings by such early Windham Hill artists as Liz Storey... but Hilton's voice is undeniably her own"
- Carol Archer, Smooth Jazz editor for R&R Magazine, March 12, 2002

Reviews for "Cocktails at Eight...":
"When I happened across 'Cocktails at Eight' by Lisa Hilton, my ears did a total double-take. I was immediately captivated by the music, and Lisa had me grooving to her arrangements of both 'Take Five' and ‘Echoes of Harlem'. As to her original compositions, 'Seduction’ and ‘Waterfall’ are my favorites, solo piano works that are as poetic as they are infecting. Cocktails at Eight? Why stop there, I could listen to this CD all night."
- David Nevue, solopianoradio.com
