Reaction
A reviewer from the Los Angeles Times wrote: "What's the result of a preteen from Ohio, with a pitch-perfect voice and original songs in Italian thanks to her heritage? That's right, an 11-year-old rising pop star named Jessica d'Agnolo." He also claimed that Jessica's cover of Panic! at the Disco's "Nine in the Afternoon" was a highlight.
