Known for her delightful delivery and delicate vibrato-less soprano, the Sao Paulo-born vocalist/composer/guitarist is equally at ease on melodic ballads as she is on tongue-twisting sambas. A Cash Box reviewer once wrote that "hearing Ana Caram was like a sweet, sunny, wake up call".

Difficile de mentionner Introvert and Naked d’Ana Layla dans un magazine centré sur le jazz et les musiques improvisées. Car il s’agit foncièrement d’un album aux accents de pop moderne et il serait presque malhonnête de convoquer la porosité entre les genres pour se sortir de cette ornière.
