Erica Milvy of Parenting Magazine writes of Mouse Jamboree: "A folksy mom sings of simple childhood pleasures while breathing life into characters like Thumbelina. It's a great kid CD not to be missed by you."

Naomi Leithhold of Booklist writes: "Children will be immediately drawn to Mary Kaye's appealing, strong, and rich voice. The unique sound of the keyboard adds texture to the upbeat guitar and the well-harmonized vocals of Mary Kaye and Jennifer Peart. The 16 songs encompass a variety of moods and subjects, such as the mellow, Thumbelina, the magical King of Elves, the sprightly Mouse Jamboree, and the sleepy Tooth Fairy. Kaye's sensitive lyrics reflect her understanding of the world from a child's point of view. Instead of asking the rain to go away in Rain, she invites it to stay, so she can splash around the neighborhood and dance in the rainbow. The subjects of the songs are everyday realities, such as sitting by the heating vent to 'warm my fingers and toesies!' Kaye has a real knack for turning ordinary topics into clever ditties."

Beverly Bixler of the School Library Journal writes: "Award-winning singer Mary Kaye wrote and performs the 14 lovely songs on her second album. Her sweet alto voice blends perfectly with Jennifer Peart's harmonies. Kaye's daughters Emily and Abby also contribute their cute preschool voices on a few of the songs. The musical styles of mostly folk and soft rock are beautifully performed on guitar and Korg Karma keyboard...this second album will be a great addition to any library's collection of music for children."

Uncle Chris Trochez of WTUL-FM in New Orleans writes: "The CD is great...I'm playing 'In The Middle' (on the air) as I write this."

Absolutely Mindy of XM Satellite Radio writes of Mary: "Keep making wonderful music!"

Kimberly Robasky of KidMix Radio (www.kidmixradio.net) writes of Mary's music: "Truly, phenomenal work."

Kenny Curtis of XM Kids says of Mary's singing, "...a truly AMAZING voice!!" (XM Satellite Radio)
