". . Maria Tecce was spellbinding." - The Irish Independent

"…relaxed and melodious, Tecce is a versatile actress, musician, and cabaret performer and "Songs From The Homeland" lends credibility to her status as an interpreter with a foot in both camps [of music and text]…a tribute to her acting assurance as much as her voice control…" Gerry Colgan, The Irish Times

"…Tecce is a woman who exudes charm and a real joie de vivre…'All About Love' produces a musical experience that is bitter and delicious, romantic and obsessive, tender and turbulent…" Kernan Andrews, Galway Advertiser

"Musician, singer, and actress Maria Tecce takes on the guises of the bruised, the brash, and the brittle...elegantly executed, Maria imperiously translates the songs into her own theatrical language. The reference points might be Ute Lemper, Judy Garland, and Ella Fitzgerald, but the end result is totally Tecce." Tony Clayton-Lea, The Irish Times
