'If there ever was an album to elicit strong emotion and vivid image, “It’s a Mystery” is the one. From the first intensely romantic sounds of “Your Sweet Smile,” bringing to mind candlelit dinners and moonlit walks, to the playful melodies of ” So in Love,” where the delicate, effortless notes of Rousseau’s flute winds adoringly in and about the clear, rhythmic notes of Carlton’s nylon stringed guitar, listeners are captivated by music that must surely have been inspired by some heavenly muse.'Karen Roman - The Weekly Chronicle

“There was obviously a lot of love and patience put into this recording(It’s a Mystery). It is one of those CD’s you play when trying to relax after a strenuous day, but find yourself concentrating on the melodies and the musicianship. A touch of latin here, some light funk (listen to From Now On) and a general feeling of world music, jazz, and folk – all combined to make for a very rich reward.”
