A blissful experience. These songs are well-built and exceptionally arranged. Holman-Jackson's voice is impeccable. Class all the way.
-Aid and Abet
Her mesmerizing vocal performance on this record is simply quite stunning. Watch out for this one, shes got true talent waiting to conquer.

In an age of throwaway pop, these songs come across like a cool blast of genuine sincerity.

For a debut album by a fresh artist still in college, When You Dream is pretty remarkable. Jackson-Holmans artfully gurgled voice accompanies an intelligent array of keys, strings and sensuous horns to create what could be the most mature introduction by a singer/songwriter in quite some time. The comparison to other, current femme fatale indie acts
is inescapable, but Jackson-Holman sounds like shes on the verge of rivaling them, rather than just following in their footsteps.
-Absolute Punk
Though a newcomer, if When You Dream is any indication, Holman s trajectory will be more like a hockey stick than a series of steps.
-Racket Magazine
Sara Jackson-Holman is going to draw lots of comparisons to Norah Jones and perhaps the British chanteuse Adele. Jackson-Holman's voice is rich as devil's food cake frosting.
-Present Magazine
So beautiful. The melodies of this 21 year old have people dropping all sorts of
comparisons. But we stay away from those because her voice resonates with a power and grace all her own.
-Loudvine.com
The album is very, very good, and in some places stunning.
-Bend Bulletin
Being barely old enough to show id at a bar in the US, it is quite impressive to hear such beautiful and complicated melody
choices from Jackson-Holman.

I know there are those out there who think it takes Feist just too damn long to release new records. As a result you scour the Interwebs looking for someone to give you the fix you crave. Portland, OR singer/songwriter Sara Jackson-Holman may just be that person.
