"En skiva såsom glider fram i flödet, en platta som med sina 7 låtar får tillvaron att bliva lättare, och hysa en skönare känsla av välbefinnande. Musiken är passionerad, men ändå lugn och finstämd i den musikaliska tonen. Sansad folkrock med anstruket country-lyft."
- Micheles Kindh / Blaskan -
"Wendy and Renee are a mother and daughter duo who describe their music as soul folk in harmony. They hypnotize audiences with blood vocals and lyrics of hope and lessons learned. Woven into this potent sound are unique guitar and guitarlele style, violin and cello."
- Kenneth Bremer / Blue Desert -
"Over 7 tracks and 30 minutes of music this little flower of an album reveals itself to the listener in fine style. The songs are all written by mother and daughter duo Wendy Gregson & Renee McLachlan, and the album dedication is to Wendy’s mother, Elizabeth Gregson. The duo received an 'Alberta Foundation For The Arts' grant to record this album, and it is indeed an example of foresight and support in providing funds for this superb project."
- Paul McGee / Lonesome Highway -
"Productions like these have become rare today, from composition to execution, also with regard to the very sensitive arrangements, there is nothing to complain about, but here only a high praise can be poured out, because this music touches very much with its inherent soul."
- Wolfgang Giese / Musik An Sich -
"For listeners who love acoustic singer songwriter records, this is a work that is immediately . For those who don't know Wendy Gregson yet, 'Mother Tree' is a beautiful introduction to an artist who finds her strength in nuance, in attention and in the ability to say a lot with few resources. It's an album you don't want to only hear, but feel, and that makes it exactly the kind of record that can be perfect for Muziekwereld."
- Fred Pach / Muziekwereld -
"“They are rather exceptional, the mother and daughter duos in todays world of music. But mama, lead singer and songwriter Wendy Gregson, and her daughter Renee McLachlan, are already performing together since 2013. A 1st EP with 4 songs was released in 2018 and now 7 years later they are trying to conquer the world with 7 new songs on their 1st full CD, ‘Mother Tree’.“
- Valére Sampermans / Rootstime -
"They are consistent, and have a very clear concept, which is musically very soothing, and is offered as a gift to the listener, who in this form gets certain folk images from the past, as well as the sound of the local time. This is a pleasant album to listen to, with very well coordinated arrangements and appropriate instrumental passages."
- Branimir Lokner / Time Machine Music -
