“Singer - songwriters working in the folk tradition aren't hard to find. Those who keep you interested are. Hamden-based Menta falls in with the latter. While she isn't doing anything new- the 12 cuts on 'When the Love Ran Deep' are typical folk-informed pop and the lyrics largely deal with falling in and out of love and finding one's self- she exudes such a pleasant warmth that it's hard not to like her.”--- Ray Hogan, Stamford Advocate, Stamford, CT. (2004)

"This debut album is immediately noted for the quality of the songwriting. Menta knows how to set the mood with a catchy chorus and capture big feelings in the small details of a story...There is a strong sense of time and place hat gives emotional impact without resorting to sentimentality... Whether the songs are going for something deep of light, they are consistently well-crafted.” --- Michael Devlin, Music Matters Review, Smithtown, NY (1999)
