"Esperanza Spalding is determined to turn her music into an event...['12 Little Spells'] furthers her genre-transcendent vision." - Rolling Stone
"This is not dinner jazz, but no one who picks up an Esperanza Spalding album expects it to be. Her voice and her bass are a listener's guide on a tour with no map and no destination, but where wonders abound." - Paste Magazine
"The songs on '12 Little Spells' have extensive intellectual superstructures. The lyrics are tied to particular body parts, while the music flaunts its jazzy chord progressions, devious melodies, odd meters and cleverly interlocking patterns. No matter; Spalding sings her complex insights with such breezy charm that the songs come across as lighthearted, even lightheaded." - Jon Pareles, The New York Times' 28 Best Albums of 2018, Rated 4/28
