| New review on |
| MOBILE was reviewed by the website "All About Jazz": "Her voice is light and elastic, sporting a fierce intellect. Couple this with a vision/sense of humor and the result is a radioactive type of 21st Century Beat Poetry. (...) Serpa's use of the texts is sparse and serves as a jumping-off point for the composer/singer to indulge vocal/musical flights of fancy inspired by the verse.(...) Serpa is searching, and her search continues to provide compelling and provocative music. " Click on the link below to read the whole review. |

| Review on Chicago Jazz Magazine |
| MOBILE was reviewed by the Chicago Jazz Magazine: "Serpa’s wordless improvisations rival those of any instrumentalists.(...). Serpa’s creativity is not diminished when she utilizes lyrics, as on the Fado “Sem Razão” (the only track not composed by her), a song popularized by the legendary Amelia Rodrigues, that Serpa makes it all her own without losing sight of the original’s legacy. (...)Mobile is a musical journey inspired by the wanderings of the artist, but it is also, like its namesake, the work of art in motion that can be experienced from a fresh perspective with every listen." |

| MOBILE among the Best of 2011 |
| MOBILE was selected as one of the Best 25 Jazz Albums of 2011 by the cultural blog Lucid Culture: "Serpa’s claim to fame is vocalese – imagine the purest, most crystalline soprano sax that could possibly exist, then add mega-amounts of soul, determination, originality and frequent existential angst along with moody, intense, counterintuitively crescendoing, sometimes third-stream themes inspired by writing about travel and migration. With Kris Davis, Andre Matos, Ben Street and Ted Poor." |
