"Suzanne Carrico... definitely has pipes to wake Rip Van Winkle from a sound slumber — especially when she tears into final notes on big numbers."
- DAVID FINKLE, BACKSTAGE
(July 2007)

 "I predict, in not too long a time, she could be winning awards as a major contender in the cabaret arena. Certainly she appears to be heading in the right direction."
- JAN WALLMAN, CABARET EXCHANGE
(August 2007)

"Carrico is a promising performer with a pleasing voice and an engaging manner."
- PETER LEAVY, CABARET SCENES
(September, 2007)

"Ms. Carrico colors what is essentially a legit sound by judiciously straightening her tone and utilizing a sexy mix; musically, her performance was admirable, and refreshingly appropriate to her material. A tall, slender, very attractive blonde in an elegant strapless dress, she displayed a poise and a seriousness of purpose." 
- JENNIE LITT, CABARET EXCHANGE
(January 2008)

Praise for THE FRIENDLIEST THING
"This is either the smartest show about sex or the sexiest show about smarts in town... In outstanding company both offstage (Mary Cleere Haran is her director) and on (she's got music director/arranger Tedd Firth on piano and Steve Doyle on bass), Carrico has the kind of sunny, uncomplicated voice that can fill "Hooray For Love" with perky glee, matched with the kind of acting skill that can explore the dark dramatic longings of Arlen and Johnny Mercer's "I Had Myself a True Love," climaxing in an anguished belt that is far more about the woman she portrays than her ability to vocally shine."
- MICHAEL DALE, BROADWAY WORLD

“When you’ve worked hard on your first cabaret show & end up winning the MAC Award for Outstanding Female Debut, what do you do for an encore?  Well, if you’re Suzanne Carrico, you simply do a brand new act & do it quite well.  And, if you have a mind for joy & a boy & your ploy is being a bit coy, you make your theme “Sex” & do it with charm rather than smarm, it’s class instead of crass. Yes, the act is done in a way that won’t make your Aunt Mildred blush. Suzanne has too much elegance & is too smart---she knows a wink can be more effective than a leer.  She’s singing well: with a light & lovely tone but judiciously using her belt voice when passions build.”
- ROB LESTER, CABARET EXCHANGE

“I learned a great lesson from a talented (but fairly new) performer the other night. The lesson: pauses are just as important as the written lyrics when performing a song. Suzanne Carrico proved that to me in her new show THE FRIENDLIEST THING at the Metropolitan Room. With the amazing Tedd Firth at the piano (providing some spectacular arrangements) & Steve Doyle on bass, Suzanne proved again why she fully deserved the 2008 MAC Award for female debut. Some truly incredible & unexpected song pairings gave the performance an attention-keeping spin... "Do It Again" (Gershwin/DeSylva) never sounded so sexy.  A triplet of songs from Harold Arlen ("Dissertation on the State of Bliss" [Gershwin] "I Had Myself a True Love" [Mercer] "Hooray for Love" [Robin]) near the end of the show almost sounded like a romantic film score - such beauty, such class! Only thing missing was the violins! Ms. Carrico is just beginning in the cabaret world, & yet she shows a poise & confidence that even some longtime cabaret icons have yet to achieve! Impeccable phrasing, lovely vocals, physical beauty, inspired song choices & nearly perfect timing all came together to make this performance (and this performer) a true delight."

Praise for THE ART OF THE CAHN
"You simply must head downtown to catch singer Suzanne Carrico in her dazzling performance of her new show ART OF THE CAHN: Music from the Sammy Cahn Songbook. With Tedd Firth on piano and Steve Doyle on bass, the show is one of the best I've seen so far this year - the performance was perfection and Ms. Carrico's vocals are unbelievable. Direction by Mary Cleere Haran must be given some of the credit, since the show is perfectly crafted and executed."
