“Amazing creativity.” ~ ART Hound
“Ayla Nereo’s voice was shocking… beautiful.” ~ Tiny Mix Tapes
“Sparingly utilizing delicate finger-plucking methods and the occasional piano, chimes, and violin, the lucid instrument here is Ayla’s voice… a mechanism dedicated to the running consciousness of her lyrics – their enchanted visions like a fantastical child drinking in her surroundings and blooming ideas.” ~ The Deli SF
“Something that actually matters… Good music.” ~ Laughing Evergreens
“Her voice blossoms.“ ~ The Bay Bridged
