"Man, can this serene redhead ever play guitar."
—SEE MAGAZINE, Edmonton, AB

"Wheatley turns pebbles of everyday life into dreamy mountains of song."
—The TORONTO STAR, Toronto, ON

"Katherine Wheatley is an extraordinary songwriter. She possesses the ability to craft a song which deeply touches your heart and then delivers a vocal performance that rips it out of your body!"
—Jan Vanderhorst, JUST US FOLK CKPC-FM 92.1 Brantford, ON

"Like Joni Mitchell, Edie Brickell and Bonnie Raitt, Wheatley has an ear for melody lines that stay in your head, a true craftsman's sense of song structure and a voice that commands your undivided attention."
—Doug Gallant, THE GUARDIAN, Charlottetown, PEI

"This is a performer to keep you on the edge of your seat!"
—THE OTTAWA CITIZEN, Ottawa, ON

"An absolutely transcendent concert...she exudes sheer kindness and love. Blessedly, refreshingly, a truly Canadian original."
—CHRONICLE JOURNAL, Thunder Bay, ON

"Wheatley, sporting a beautiful voice and heady guitar work, brought the house down with her stunningly intimate musical meanderings."
—THE EXAMINER, Peterborough, ON

"It is rare that one can find a singer/songwriter who nails guitar licks while at the same time dazzles you with emotive songwriting and perfectly pitched vocal prowess."
—Todd MacLean, THE GUARDIAN, Charlottetown, PEI

"'Landed' demonstrates that Katherine Wheatley remains one of Canada's most insightful and compelling singer-songwriters. An album of personal love and loss that speaks to us all and so touches our souls that it makes you hang on every note and word—BRILLIANT!"
—Jim Marino, FREEWHEELING FOLK SHOW, Hamilton, ON

"Insightful lyrics set to catchy melodies rule this recording, and it works. Wheatley's voice expertly handles both haunting haunting piano ballads such as Storm Warning, and jangly, upbeat tunes such as Bound to You. Let's hope we don't have to wait another decade for another album from Wheatley. It's great folk music."
—Robin Dudgeon, UPTOWN MAGAZINE ONLINE, Winnipeg, MB

"Wheatley sings about good things in life, things like secret hiding places, friends, gum, banana seat bicycles, coffee, tea and love. She sings vivid pictures that every Canadian would fondly recognize and she sings them beautifully."
—VIEW MAGAZINE, Hamilton, ON

"Chock full of literate, thoughtful and frequently piercing lyrics, Wheatley is a great storyteller, and her voice, documenting stories of lost innocence, the beauty of the Canadian landscape, hockey cards, and the human costs of so-called 'technological advancement,' fills this record with a warm glow."
—EXCLAIM MAGAZINE, Toronto, ON

"A voice that's beautiful and assured."
—CHART MAGAZINE, Toronto, ON

"As a listener, it's hard not to sit back, close your eyes and watch the movie play."
—SEE MAGAZINE, Edmonton, AB

"Katherine Wheatley's got moxy to spare. ****"
—The Ottawa Capitol, Ottawa, ON

"Her voice and guitar work drew the crowd in from the moment she started to sing. Her witty repartee gave these songs a footing from whence to fly. And fly she did!"
—THE EXAMINER, Peterborough, ON

"I was left with my jaw hanging open many, many times throughout the 18 songs Wheatley treated us to."
—Todd MacLean, THE GUARDIAN, Charlottetown, PEI
