Allmusic[1]

The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album four and a half stars and said it was a "Helen Merrill has never been afraid to take chances, but the veteran jazz singer is especially ambitious on Jelena Ana Milcetic, an autobiographical (or at least semi-autobiographical) work that draws on jazz, pop, and folk as well as traditional Croatian music...But as unpredictable and eclectic as this album is, the CD never sounds confused or aimless...everything fits together perfectly. Jelena Ana Milcetic is among Merrill's most impressive accomplishments".[1]
