"Parents should get two copies of this album. One can be put on continuous play in the nursery to nurture discerning music lovers. The other should be in the sitting room to re-educate adults in the joys of lullabies."
- Nicky Rossiter, Irish Music Magazine
"I feel safe in saying that parents will find Lullabies with Mandolins just as lovely after innumerable car rides. For a start, it’s real music – Schubert’s “Cradle Song,” the American classic “All the Pretty Little Horses," (and) the English favorite “Over the Hills and Far Away.” Mayor and James make no attempt to sell these tunes, they just present them in very simple, quiet arrangements. It works. I predict this will become a big favorite at bedtime and if your kids learn all the words to “Lavender’s Blue” or want to learn to play mandolin after listening to Vivaldi’s “Andante” so much the better."
