“Open Hands” was released in June of 2001 and generated substantial press coverage and radio play. Some of the reviews:
“Pam Steinfeld has a folky release entitled ‘Open Hands’ that is a gettin’ a heap o’ praise out there from the Billboard crew. It is heartfelt and good. She can sing sweetly with that perfect lilt that is hard to master. Her songs are well crafted. Her guitar work fits perfectly with her voice. Look out Mary Chapin.”- Music Monthly
“[Pam Steinfeld is a] fine songwriter, celebrating her new CD ‘Open Hands.’ The lighthearted material talks about real life with an easy charm.” - WashingtonPost.com
“Pam’s songs can be playful without being cute, serious without being maudlin. She sports a wisdom and appreciation of those things in life to which we are glad we’re tethered. Her voice has an earnest charm not unlike a Carly Simon or a Carolyn Hester." - Jon Carroll, keyboard player and vocalist, Mary Chapin Carpenter band
“Another thing [Pam’s] got going for her are great songs, as evidenced by the stellar compositions on ‘Open Hands.’” - The Journal newspapers
“‘Sketching Marcia’ is more than a song - it’s also a short story
set to music. Pam Steinfeld melodically underscores any number
of feelings that swirl around the mind’s eye while switching
emotive gears seamlessly; a slice of lyrical and musical poetry
that pervades long after the hearing is over.”
