“Wiles has been a lifelong songwriter and storyteller who is known for her powerfully evocative lyrics and voice”- Jeff Mahoney, Hamilton Spectator September 2020

“Wiles is a strong singer-songwriter who has the added blessing of a killer voice, emotive and rich. A voice you want to hear. Her material is lyrically strong, straight to the point, emotional and empowering”.- Bob Mersereau 2021 Canadian arts journalist CBC

“Caroline Wiles is blessed with a silky-smooth voice. Simply penetrating. She exudes achingly beautiful intonation” -Americana Highways 2021.

“One of Canada’s best kept musical secrets at the height of her musical powers. Thoughtful moving lyrics, intimate and endearingly warm vocals, and timeless song craft.”
-Darryl Sterdan, former national music critic at Sun/Post media

“Writing a song about the Lovers Lane story is hard to do. Congratulations, well done! “
-Daniel Lanois, producer of U2, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris

“One of the top songwriters to ever record at Grant Avenue Studio!”
-Bob Doidge, owner and producer at Grant Avenue Studio (Gordon Lightfoot, Crash Test Dummies, Bruce Cockburn)

“Caroline’s lyrics have a cerebral touch that few songwriters have. Her performances are inviting and captivating! I never miss a chance to play her wonderful albums or singles on the air. Very highly recommended!”
-Jim Marino, DJ for CFMU Freewheeling Folk Show

“Caroline Wiles’ third album, Lovers Lane, shows an artist at the peak of their songwriting ability. Catchy earworms that will not leave your head. Her voice is simply heavenly, a warmth akin to a Karen Carpenter, a Carly Simon or an Anne Murray. Showcased beautifully in 12 of her self penned songs. And ably supported by a cast of sensitive musicians and vocalists. This one will spend a long time in your CD player.”
