"I'm very proud of this album. I remember thinking when we were making the first album, "Where did this really come from? Why does it seem so easy?" - and I realised about a year later when I listened back to a lot of Georgian folk music, there were a lot of similarities between blues singing, you know that idea of sort of pain in music, - it's represented from a very deep place, from where you sing. Those elements that define blues also define Georgian folk singing and so people listening to it in England and probably a lot of people around the world will think it has gone in a more blues direction and I would agree with them but I know on a deeper level it has actually gone in a more Georgian direction." - Katie Melua 
"Piece By Piece picks up where 'Calling Off The Search' left off, while seeing Melua maturing into a singer-songwriter destined to be around for a few years yet. From the sultry, bluesy opener Shy Boy, the tone is set. Stand-up bass, brushed drums, flighty piano and strummed acoustic guitars underpin Melua's sweltering vocals." - HMV Choice
