Upon release in 2011, The Best Is Yet To Come received warm reviews. All About Jazz praised Fygi’s “unforced charm and impeccable phrasing.” Dutch De Telegraaf gave it four stars, noting, “Laura sounds better than ever—warmer, wiser, and wonderfully unhurried.”

The album charted moderately in the Netherlands and Japan (where Fygi has a devoted cult following). It did not produce radio hits; it was never intended to. Instead, it became a staple of high-end audio show demos. At the Munich High-End show in 2012, several exhibitors used “The Best Is Yet To Come” (title track) in FLAC format to demonstrate high-resolution speakers. The reason? Fygi’s voice is female, jazz-adjacent, and free of sibilance—a perfect torture test for a tweeter.
