"Amanda King is brightly featured on this new album along with the Rob Dixon and Steve Allee Quintet. This woman has taken all her talents and combined them to become an in-demand vocalist and actress across the country. In February of 2024, the Dixon/Allee Quintet album will be available. It’s a winner!" - Dee Dee McNeil -- LA Jazz Scene
"Singer Amanda King, who bills herself as a classic chanteuse, gave a masterclass in swing music when she performed her one woman show, “ELLA The Early Years,” ... - Tom Alvarez -- On the Aisle with Tom Alvarez
An important up-and-coming singer, she has a strong voice, a wide range, and the ability to dig deep into the lyrics while always swinging. Plus she always sings with a smile in her voice. - Scott Yanow, Jazz Journalist and Historian
“... she has a deliciously supple voice, capable of gliding easily from a thrumming, oaky and often sultry lower register to a delicately melodic upper tier ... there's no question Amanda King is a singer worth watching and, more important, worth hearing."- David Wiegand— San Francisco Chronicle
She’s got a big, rich, slightly smoky voice with as much talent for jazz and soul as swing. Long-searching arcs and sighing overtones seem effortless, as does the precision with which she improvises around a tune. Her stage persona is warm and packed with gusto.
- Alix Cohen, Cabaret Scenes
Amanda King is a big lady with a big beautiful, lush voice. She seems lit from within, warmth and vivacity pouring out of her as naturally as breathing. Soul, swing, and jazz numbers are offered with elegant simplicity whether pumped up or poured like syrup. - Alix Cohen, Woman Around Town
Amanda King has always been good – but now she has gone beyond good to ‘Absolutely Sparkling’. Her unique sound and uncanny ability to bring back the days of Anita O’Day, Mildred Bailey, Bea Wain and Blanche Calloway made this a very special musical trip indeed. - Lee Hartgrave, BeyondChron.org
She has that early Carmen McRae/Dinah Washington/Ella Fitzgerald smoothness and a natural subtlety. - Steve Murray, Cabaret Scenes
"And the half-dozen vocal tracks are very strong; Amanda King is a rich-voiced performer who takes command, digging into both music and lyrics with care and nuances. She casts a romantic spell with "The Very Thought of You" at a relaxed tempo, and in the Gershwins' "Love Is Here to Stay," she seems to be dancing with the pianist in a livelier, playful mood. Standards Deluxe is an appealing mix." - Rob Lester -- Talkin' Broadway
“Stately grandeur and youthful intensity: the annual New York Cabaret Convention at the Rose Theater has never lacked for great ladies and refined gentlemen. ... All it takes to demonstrate that somehow or other the tradition goes on is a couple of exceptional rising talents. And at the convention’s opening-night gala on Thursday, two singers — T. Oliver Reid and Amanda King — leapt out from the pack." - Stephen Holden— New York Times
