Comment from a verified purchaser of Carousel of Time on Amazon Music....rated 4.8 of 5 with 49 comments thus far:
"This is my first experience with Jackie Evancho, and I must say it has been a good one. Since I am a fan of Joni Mitchell, I wondered if this unfamiliar singer could do these songs justice, but my fears were groundless. Jackie has an amazing voice, amazingly similar to Joni's. It is a perfect fit for this material. It is smooth, clear, fluid and controlled. Like Joni, she can glide from low notes up to very high ones and back down again, with perfect pitch as far as this non-professional can judge. She sails right through "River", which I would not think of as an easy song for a young singer to tackle, and she does it well.
Jackie sings some of Joni's very well-known songs but also some not heard so often. Some of the arrangements provide a rather impressionistic background which gives the tracks a melancholy tone. In "Both Sides Now", the music adds a touch of pathos by sliding briefly into a minor key, something I have not noticed in previous versions of this song. The same approach is used for "Circle Game". Conversely, some of the tracks have "pop" arrangements with a noticeable, but not overpowering, drumbeat. In this group are 2 of Joni's early songs that I was less familiar with than others. "The Gallery" begins as Jackie sings, "When I first saw your gallery/I liked the ones of ladies"; and this reminds me of the poem "My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning, which the narrator, the Duke of Ferrara, opens by saying, "That's my last duchess painted on the wall." (Joni's song has a happier ending.) The other early song I was unfamiliar with is "I Had A King", and Jackie favors the song with a powerful vocal. She also sings two of my absolute Joni favorites, both from the "Ladies Of The Canyon" album: "For Free" and "Rainy Night House". She sings them incredibly well, and I mean that as high praise. Another song, "Urge For Going", has heightened significance at this time of year. The song is about departures and attempts at departure. Resigned to the inevitable, Jackie sings, "I get the urge for going but I never seem to go...When the meadow grass is turning brown/Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in." I can relate to this uneasy restlessness over the coming of winter."

Comment here on Jackie Evancho fans "on Amazon, Jackie Evancho has sold 4 CD's of "Carousel of time" in the last 3 weeks". Basically, I agree with the comment on Youtube.

A few more comments from verified purchasers on Amazon Music. 52 comments posted....Rating 4.8 "From her earliest performances, even as a child, Jackie has simply amazed us with her staggering level of control, her perfect sense of pitch and timing, her soaring range, and her almost uncanny ability to adjust her phrasing, her perfect use of crescendo and decrescendo, her well controlled (and not overdone) vibrato, to bring out the best interpretation of any song she sings. First, she stunned the world with the maturity and crystal clarity of that otherworldly beautiful voice with her classical work , then she made it clear that she BELONGS on Broadway with "The Debut", and now she shows her versatility with this breath-taking, absolutely beautiful tribute to the folk music of the eternally great Joni Mitchell. She continues to demonstrate that she remains one of the most beautiful voices on the planet. One outstanding feature of this album is that , even if some of the songs may be a bit unfamiliar, they quickly grow on you and amazingly, every time I listen to the album, it seems to get even more beautiful, rapidly evolving from nice, to beautiful, to absolutely heavenly. You would be making a terrible mistake if you don't buy this incomparable album." "I have finished listening to this record. First from Amazon streaming, then on the actual CD. Jackie Evancho has recorded this CD of Joni Mitchell songs, and they are letter perfect. It is rare for someone to do covers of an artist and be faithful to the original melodies, but still bring something of themselves into the recordings. Well Jackie has done just that. Producer Fred Mollin has enlisted quality musicians to play on this. These songs are from the first four Joni Mitchell records. Joni's versions were backed by guitar or keyboards, usually played by her. These songs are fleshed out with strings, drums, and keyboards. My favorite might be " I Had A King". Jackie sings this with conviction. "Rainy Night House" has a jazzy arrangement. The outro of the song features a piano solo by Pat Coil which adds to the highlights. As a matter of fact, the whole record breathes with the up and down movement of voice and instruments. Another fact, this record sounds better with each listen. Most records get stale after a while, but this one might stay in your player for some time. I can only give 5 stars, but I would like to give it 20. My only complaint is there are only 10 songs. I wish there were 15. Maybe if enough people buy this, Jackie will do a CD of later Joni stuff. I am imagining Court and Spark or Trouble Child with Jackie's voice. People please buy it." "I have been a fan of Joni Mitchell for a long time, including performances of her music by other artists. Jackie Evancho has brought her extraordinary voice and interpretive skills to a selection of Joni's songs, and created an album that is a true tribute to Joni and to the almost other-worldly vocal talents of this young and yet deeply experienced and mature singer. If you like Joni, or just really gorgeous folk/pop music, you will like this album."
