Radio host Anthea Redmond said, "Sammy Stein has earned an incredible reputation as a writer and reviewer for her honesty, profound knowledge, and professional integrity in all things Jazz. Her articles in some of the most popular Jazz Magazines on both sides of the Atlantic bear testament to the above, and her huge army of fans are strong and growing by the day and I'm happy to say I'm one of them."

A reviewer said, "Stein is a direct and positive writer" and another " the fluidity of her writing goes well with her subjects"

"The main thing for me", says Sammy, "along with the wonderful people I meet, is the love of jazz music and how it connects and levels."
