"Aliza Hava is a musical force to be reckoned with. Her graveled voice has the quality that emotes at the very first syllable. She has a considerable amount of power, but never over states it...The music seems to flow through her like it did Stevie Ray Vaughan, channeling something bigger than a handful of chords and a catchy chorus."
