Her tone is airy and sweet, her virtuosity graceful."

Claude Bolling in March 2004 on Zucker''s Bolling Jazz Suites CD writes "Dear Laurel Zucker, Your recording is beautiful, musician partners are excellent and your flute playing superb!!!" Of the Flute Music by French Composers CD, Sir James Galway recommends on his website "This is a really good record and should be in the library of all serious students.
