"Excitement and exploration give way to repose as “Until the Real Thing Comes Along” receives a beautiful reading by Veronica Swift. Recalling iconic moments of this song’s rich history, from Andy Kirk to Jackie Wilson, Feifke’s arrangement ultimately is one of restraint, romanticism, even reverence. While softer textures provide a beautiful framing for Swift’s gorgeous singing, Feifke sneaks in indulgences for careful listeners: a tricky key change up by a tritone prior the vocals’ entrance is just one of many surprises quietly hiding in the soft textural clouds."
