There's nothing more fulfilling than closing a musically diverse year with a complete work of art.  Carolyn Southworth's "At the End of the Day" has the fragile beauty and soulful depth of a painting; every note is a graceful stroke of the brush.  Labels such as "New Age" or "jazz" cannot aptly describe the haunting, evocative qualities of these gorgeous instrumentals.  Southworth's stunningly rich piano playing already dazzles from the beginning, the poignant melodies that transform the title track into a transcendent, magical piece.  What makes Southworth's piano playing so engrossing is the emotional pull they create; they simply draw you in unlike many of her peers who keep their distance, letting us admire the sounds they create but not feel them. --Adam Harrington, Whisperin & Hollerin (UK), December 2006Southworth's piano is smooth, soothing and fresh from the opening title track to the reverent "Nocturne."  Each work is melodic and catchy but also deep with emotion and musicality.  Southworth has created a CD that will appeal to fans of healing new-age music.  But it also set the bar high for fan's expectations.  It can stand alongside such new-age artists as David Lanz, Suzanne Ciani and Tingstad & Rumbel. --Scott Iwasaki, Deseret Morning News, Music Editor, October 27, 2006This is soundtrack music with a poet's ear.  Carolyn Southworth's piano playing is delicate yet dramatic; they can drift across the ears with the plaintive walk of tear-filled clouds.  The overall effect is a relaxing, engaging one.  Produced by Grammy nominee Paul Spear with Southworth herself, the CD sounds utterly pristine; there isn't an awkward note or recording flaw on it. --Michael Sutton, Erasing Clouds Music Reviews, January 2007
