A Single Woman (album)

The Times wrote: "Despite the strings, the woodwinds, the French accordions or the 'My Way' overtones of many of these songs, [Simone] speaks with bleak honesty and unashamed recalcitrance to many people who value such qualities above sham professionalism or artifice."{{cite news |last1=Toop |first1=David |title=The old ones are the best |work=The Times |date=13 Aug 1993 |location=Features}}

Reviewing a reissue, Clash wrote that Simone's "voice is richer and deeper; her phrasing resembles more than ever the tender voicing of a jazz trumpet."{{Cite web|url=https://www.clashmusic.com/reviews/nina-simone-a-single-woman|title=Nina Simone – A Single Woman|website=Clash Magazine|date=18 June 2008 }}
