Just some short weeks after the Korean release of This Beautiful Day, the album has received some glowing reviews - see two examples below:
La Musica (May 2009)
Anyone searching for a feeling that cannot be replaced by computer-generated music can be totally satisfied with This Beautiful Day, Carmel Conway's debut album, sung in an innately clear and beautiful voice. Her soprano achieves a beautiful tone and is in perfect harmony with the 40 members of The Irish Film Orchestra. I strongly recommend this album if you are a fan of the crossover genre of pop and classical music.
Jazz Review (May 2009)
Carmel Conway's voice is classical and intimate. Her voice leaves a long lasting impression. Her qualities have become her hallmark and make her distinctive. These 12 songs are warm and intimate and project her musical attractiveness with depth and ability, even though she is a new singer. This album is comforting and relaxing.
