"Her dusky alto vocal range is a true treat, and she has an understated yet memorable way with a lyric that renders anything she performs worth investigating."
– Larry Flick - BILLBOARD MAGAZINE
"Mae Robertson is one of the finest interpreters I've heard in years."
– Rich Warren, Host of The Midnight Special WFMT, Chicago, IL
"Mae Robertson's pure spun-gold vocals and intimate, conversational stylings are just right."
– LOS ANGELES TIMES
"In the end, it comes down to this. When Mae Robertson sings, it is meditation for the soul. Her voice almost breathes you to a different world in which beauty and light and good make everything right. I think we could all use a little more of that and Meet the Sun Halfway delivers. And then some."
– MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
"Robertson's vocals are soft as velvet"
– CHILD MAGAZINE
"Mae has a voice you can listen to over and over again and still have you appreciating her talent each time. This is folk music at its best." (5 Stars!)
– ROOTS MUSIC REVIEW
"Tastefully arranged with spare and lovely (mostly acoustic) accompaniment and sung with her signature crystal-clear warmth."
– COMMON SENSE MEDIA
"The emotional honesty and carefully tuned craft she brings to her work is equal to the greatest of the words she sings, whether they are her own, of those of others. And her warm, bright delivery is like the sun itself."
– Joshua Farber, Cover Laydown
"Ms. Robertson inhabits the souls of the inhabitants of her songs and of the songs she covers. There is a range of emotion that is tapped into that is never taken over the dam. This is a most real deal singer with great nuance and expressivity. Her use of metaphor is deeply philosophical without being over intellectualized. She possesses a richness and clarity in the timbre of her voice that makes her vocal instrument a perfect foil to convey the wealth of emotions contained within the songs. I dare say that her cover of Elvis Costello's Almost Blue is the most perfectly balanced and nuanced I have ever heard. Ms. Roberton's other covers Kim Richey's Straight As The Crow Flies; Tom Waits' Little Trip To Heaven; Beth Nielsen Chapman's All For The Love and Darden Smith's Turning To You are simply pitch perfect emotionally. They sound as if they are cut from the same cloth as Ms. Robertson's originals. Like the best of singers, she makes the covers as comfortable as her own works, which, by the way, stand admirably next to the other tunes. This is a standout album."

"She bypasses the trills and vibratos and tricks of the vocal trade for the honest and true, the voice as pure instrument, and the end result is, to be honest, brilliant. In letting her voice speak for her, she allows the music to take center stage and without the ego and the drama prevalent in so many singers of today, she carries you away without a struggle."
– Frank Gutch, FAME Review
“Mae Robertson's voice is as inviting as the promise of morning coffee made by someone who loves you. She writes songs that are gentle and true. She sings only the best and the tenderest.”
– Marilyn Rae Bayer - Music Director - WUMB, Boston, MA
"There's a warm, celebratory tone in Robertson's voice, and a genuine love of the songs she sings which shines through to the heart."
– Joshua Farber, COVER LAYDOWN
