"On his latest release, the seven-track EP Lullaby With Stars, we hear the fruits of studies, labors, and lessons in both admirable technique and musicianship. What shines brightest on this recording, though are the (original) melodies. Each track is delightfully singable, As the journey through the program progresses, the seeming simplicity of Calmes' use of melody slowly but surely reveals the fact that this material was crafted by an understated virtuoso."
