Review of The Original Jenny Whiteley says:

‘Whiteley's voice is clear as a bell, and she sings with a tasteful simplicity that rarely shows off her great range (though we get an idea on "Oxford Town," where she effortlessly hits the highest highs and the lowest lows)...’

Review of The Original Jenny Whiteley says:

‘A recognition of her rich and diverse Americana/Canadiana upbringing within the venerable Whiteley clan, this fifth recording is a rootsy masterpiece...The Original Jenny Whiteley is beautiful.’

Review of The Original Jenny Whiteley says:

‘Jenny Whiteley has a simple, but powerful old-school southern style, though in Whiteley’s case, it is southern Canada... effortlessly moves as many listeners with her warm vocals, a harmonica, and a guitar than any eight-piece band could. Whitely does not even need instruments in order to make an impact— with some of the most gracefully-imparted harmonies ever heard by these worn ears, she cuts to the soul like a hot knife through butter with her angelic voice...If you crave poignant lyrics, masterfully-played string band instrumentation, and old-fashioned charm, The Original Jenny Whiteley should be the new addition to your music collection.’

Review of The Original Jenny Whiteley says:

‘Canadian singer Jenny Whiteley lives and breathes old school country and folk. ..an uncanny intimacy...her most confident sounding album to date...She comes full circle in the final track, when her dad and uncle join her singing the traditional Things Are Coming My Way. With an album like The Original Jenny Whiteley, that shouldn't be a problem.’
