Access Hollywood review of Elixer:

"Valente’s “Elixer” — is just that, a very sweet blend of sultriness. This young lady has a voice that matches her beauty, and it’s about as smooth as hot chocolate sauce pouring out over two scoops of ice cream. She is quite dynamic with her vocals, range and the musical accompaniment is right on. "
