"Her version of 'Put It Where You Want It' could stop a war! At least warriors might put down their weapons for a few minutes while they listen to this cool, funky version of the classic!" - Russ Davis, Program Director, Beyond Jazz (((XM))) SATELLiTE RADiO "It is obvious throughout these dozen tracks that she knows how to swing and can sell a ballad with the best of them. There’s an infectiously charismatic lilt to her “What’s Your Story, Morning Glory?”; an inviting hint of pending delight in her “Small Day Tomorrow”; an intoxicatingly sexy push-pull at the heart of her self-penned “Stop This Train!”; a marvelous bluesiness that invigorates Mose Allison’s whip-smart “If You Live”; and the blurry regret of her “Drinkin’ Again” can match June Christy’s “Something Cool” shot glass for shot glass. If What’s Your Story is indicative of Donnay’s musical future, then let’s all be grateful she’s thrown her hat into the jazz ring." - Christopher Loudon, Jazz Times
