Aquí tenemos una crítica de su álbum Dreamer escrita por una mujer, y por tanto imparcial :-)

Gifted with warm, husky and smooth voice and an exceptional piano playing skills, Eliane Elias could well be among the finest jazz artists of our time. If versatility is the name of the game, she could easily be signed up in the league. She's also a composer, arranger and producer. This fine CD covers eleven tracks and backed-up by a full orchestra conducted by Rob Matthes, who has also worked with Carly Simon, Stevie Wonder and Sting, among many others.

This CD is so pleasant to the ears and starts with her beautiful and dreamy rendition of "Call Me," a song made popular by Petula Clark in the '60s, there are also other nice versions from Astrud Gilberto and Chris Montez, and wraps up with her heartfelt and intense instrumental rendition of "A House Is Not A Home," a Bacharach/David composition, so poignant it touched my heart and every time I hear it I can't help being teary-eyed and melancholic. She did an excellent performance on this track, she plays as if she's deeply touched with the essence of the song.

In my opinion, the best tracks aside from the finale are two of Bossa Nova staples, the bubbly and vibrant "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" and a more relaxed rendition of "Tangerine," a Johnny Mercer composition; the ever charming and dreamy "So Nice," Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Dreamer", and of course an all-time gem "That's All," a song with meaningful and sincere lyrics that goes.... "I can only give you love that lasts forever, and a promise to be near each time you call, and the only heart I own for you and you alone, that's all, that's all..."

This sweet and lovely CD is worth listening to and deserves my highest recommendation to music enthusiasts who appreciate Bossa Nova tunes and a rare talent such as Eliane Elias.
