"Monica Pasqual may already be familiar to some locals as part of Blame Sally. Solo her sweet, clear voice dominates an album full of dreamy pop with some distinct Gallic and Spanish touches. "This Cold Desire" is in the same vein as Sarah McLaclan's work - acoustic pop/rock with a distinctly feminine sensibility. It's beautiful stuff." Kirsty Evans - East Bay Express
"Like Joni Mitchel and Rickie Lee Jones, San Francisco's own Monica Pasqual proves that strong songwriting and stirring singing will take command of just about any stylistic setting" Derk Richardson - San Francisco Bay Guardian
