Reviews: "Way Out is really something new, an album of wayward songs featuring just voice, piano and drums. Alessandra's vocals are brittle and beautiful, at times spectral and shot through with melancholic joy. While it's hard to single out the best songs, the oblique nursery rhyme Hundred Points and the breathless Burning are two of them. Another masterpiece from Celletti - strange, touching and extremely personal" (Rockerilla, 02/2008); "A remarkable work - very brilliant" (Greg Lake, 04/2008); "Celletti is a classically-trained pianist with an extensive pedigree, and my goodness you can tell. A very good album, and an interesting mix - there are still plenty of classically influenced pieces here, but these are staggered with tracks that toy with contemporary songwriting and arrangements, including raw and occasionally thrilling drum tracks. The wild and tumbling Burning rocks, and Hundred Points evidences the ambition of the songs she has written here" (SubCulture, 1/2008)
