"In Mae Robertson's world, lullabies aren't just for putting babies to sleep. She enlivens traditional selections (like ''Golden Slumbers'' and ''Hush, Little Baby'') with soothingly sung family-oriented tunes by Bob Dylan, James Taylor, and Tom Waits. Robertson's warm, luminescent voice also shines on Dar Williams' ''The One Who Knows'' and Radney Foster's ''Godspeed.'' This delightful disc is lovely to sing along with at bedtime, or anytime." A-

"Mae Robertson has one of the best voices I've ever heard in almost any genre. You'll love listening to her."

"The fantastic song selections in her collections span the entire 20th century and cover a variety of dreamy melodies from those you know to those you'll be glad to discover. Plus, they're absolutely beautiful. Think Lilith Fair meets Judy Garland. Or Shawn Colvin meets Carly Simon. Actually, I kept trying to think of exactly who her voice reminds me of. And then I figured it out: an angel."
— COOL MOM PICKS
"Robertson's interpretations of pop songs as lullabies are truly inspired and there are traditional lullabies here as well, all performed with Robertson's lovely and patient voice."
— L.A. PARENT
"Young children will be carried effortlessly into the world of dreams, while adults (who will fondly recall many of the tunes from their childhood and later years) will be all too happy to cuddle up and drift off as well. A must-have for library and home CD collections."
— BOOKLIST
"Dream is the fourth album in Robertson's Lullaby and Lovesong collection; an excellent, eclectic mixture including songs composed by Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and others. Robertson's expressive voice carries the album."
