Editorial Review:
Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for the supporting role of Sally Brown in the 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, made a memorably vampy Lily in the 1999 television film of Annie, and had an NBC sitcom created for her, Kristin! Now she grabs the spotlight in Let Yourself Go, her first solo recording. She mixes torchy standards ("My Funny Valentine," "How Long Has This Been Going On?") with Faith Prince-style sauciness ("If"), gets to show off her operatic and scat chops in the miniplay "The Girl in 14G," and shares a light duet with Jason Alexander (reviving his musical theater career post-Seinfeld). Perhaps her "Stranger Here Myself" isn't the weightiest you've ever heard, but this is an enjoyable album with a good deal of old-fashioned class, expertly accompanied by Rob Fisher and the Coffee Club Orchestra. --David Horiuchi
Let Yourself Go Reviews:
Big Voice 
2009-11-10 - Kristin Chenowith is small in size, but has a big, beautiful voice. A real treat to the ears.
Magnifico! 
2009-09-16 - After hearing Kristin Chenoweth in Wicked, I couldn't resist trying this out. I wasn't disappointed. Kristen has a light soprano voice and shamelessly shows off her operatic training. Her style suits Broadway perfectly and this album is a gem. I love it. A collection of well and lesser known (to me at least) hits, with enough variety to use her versatility. Before I heard this I thought no one would be able to do "How long has this been going on" like Ella, but hey, I was wrong! Great dialogue and perfect timing.
Maybe Kristin could come to the land of Oz one day? Sydney v New York? No contest!
Bruno from Sydney
amazing breadth
2009-08-21 - Kristen is a complicated person. She is attractive, gifted and a sense of humor no to be met. This album showcases all those attributes. It is beautiful and humerous.I can't wait to hear more of her in years to come.Her potential is unlimited. I would like to see a few more pop classics from her. This album you can play over and over and not get bored.A++++
A must for fans of the genre.
2008-10-30 - This is the perfect showcase for the multitalented vocalist. She pays compliments to standards, and makes a few unknown songs all her own.
Great singer and actress all in one
2008-05-06 - The first time I saw Kristin Chenoweth in a movie was the TV "Music Man". Just lately I listened to the "Wicked" soundtrack, and after that, I've been listening to Kristin's CDs whenever I can. This one is a jazzy, Broadway-type CD with fun, engaging songs. She's a different type of singer, and while not everyone might enjoy her voice, I really do. If you like Broadway, jazz, drama, romance, or just fun, catchy songs, this is a CD for you.
