"Tom Harrison Oct.28/04"

"Linda Kidder sang a marvellous, emotional, 'I'm so lonesome I could cry' at Moday's memorial for the late Doug Bennett. - Province Newspaper


"John Forrest Oct. 27/05"

'Kidder's songs are sensitive and well crafted, but at the same time feisty and not without some serious female attitude'... 'onstage Linda is hilarious and very personable and the house that evening packed with media, friends and fans were treated to a veritable musical feast.' - Nanaimo News Bulletin


"Charles Giordano May 26/01"

'I would have bet the farm last week that the beautiful voice I heard coming over 600 AM was none other than that of famous singer Bernadette Peters. Then the second time I heard it I thought, well maybe it's Linda Ronstadt, but was told by the station's program driector it was none other than Vancouver singer, Linda Kidder whose pure voice in the song if I loved you was enough to send shovers up my back.' - South Delta Leader


"Alex Brown July 12/04"

'Listening to Linda Kidder's second album, Close to Bliss, is like visiting a friendly acoustic venue and being welcomed in by a voice of great warmth and artistry. Also consistently sure is the way she uses her wide vocal range and well honed expertise to bring out the best in her original songs. While her lyrics cover everything form romantic
highs to bitter heartbreak, her experience as a vocalist shows through, particularly in the way she recognizes the difference between interpreting a lyric and ripping it to shreds' - Peace Arch News July 12/04
