"Amy Fabry's voice has the sensibility of Joni Mitchell, but with a dark and edgy side. Her vocal range and use of drama is a perfect match with the minimalist approach to the production. The album keeps itself crystal clear with the vocals right out in the front, backed up by Amy’s talent on the keys, giving the whole project a strong backbone. A true artist with words, Amy tackles some heavy subject matters, including a convicted man facing death in "Execution Stay," an inside look at an illicit binge in "Love Roses," and the common pain of skewed body images reflected in the mirror in "The Girl That You Were." But this album is put together so skillfully with a sense of cool and calm that it’s not disturbing. The subject matter is broached from a mature point of view and a look at the underbelly of life that keeps me interested..."

Reviews for Mutiny of Shadows
"Amy’s sound is akin to Norah Jones – but less sultry. Her airy vocals and sweet, girl-next door persona really shines through during her second album, Mutiny of Shadows. Let me start with saying that this is a great up and coming singer who isn’t afraid to put it all out there for the audience. Amy likes to stay the course with her songs, starting in a certain key and staying in that register throughout the song. All around her jazzy bass lines and neat progressions abound..."

"Nobody Like Jimmy is a good opener. It’s catchy and gives a good glimpse into what’s in store for the rest of the album. Girl That You Were adds a little bit of electronic stuff too. I like the rhythm and melody of this one. It’s got a super catchy chorus. Gentleman’s Agreement has a bit of a beach calypso feel. Must be the wocka guitar. Love Roses and Gravity’s Architect are favorites of mine. The piano shines and so does her voice. Some of these songs remind me of Basia. (Remember her? [New Day For You]?) But I think I actually like Fabry’s voice better. She has a perfect voice for this genre. It’s crystal clear A nice, sophisticated-without-being-snooty, jazzy record for your collection."

"Amy Fabry's second album is jazzy and has a nice laid-back vibe to it. "Nobody like Jimmy" is sad yet has a persuasive groove. The vocal is sweet and the melody slick. "Girl that you were" is another gem, a sophisticated backing being central in the song being so cool. Fabry's icy cool voice suits this tale of society's pressures on girls. "Menthol" is a charming, mid-pace song with a vocal that mirrors the lyric about a cool girl. Fabry's an exciting singer. "Gravity's architect" is a lovely song that's like Aimee Mann at her best. Fabry's vocal is as ever cool and committed to her tale. It's a pleasant and very lovely record this one."
