In an interview for NPR Music, Al Jarreau described Jon Hendricks as "pound-for-pound the best jazz singer on the planet, maybe that's ever been." He went on to say when he first met Susan, "We were singing Jon's songs in the car, my old '64 Chevy that I was driving out here from the Midwest, an old station wagon. Susan and I in the car singing 'Shiny Stockings.' Susan singing 'Cottontail.' We were singing Jon Hendricks' songs and falling in love. That music was the soundtrack of my daily life."
