  If this were a movie about a classically-trained musician's journey from shy student to in-demand teacher and performer, then this album is the original soundtrack."  
—Dulcimer Players News
  Mary Lynn and Ken have that rare quality that happens when two musicians playing together create a sound like one musician, both breathing together as one and finishing each other's musical sentences as one person with two voices."
—Nancy Barker, Kentucky Music Week, 2022
