About If Ever I Return (Celtic Songs of Love and Parting)
"Simply astonishing in its beauty . . . she and the fabulous musicians who play with her have created an exquisite jewel of a Celtic album . . . Dover sings in English, Gaelic and French with equal panache, using the amazing instrument of her voice to tell the emotional stories behind the songs. Told from the heart, this truly is timeless music . . .
I have been playing If Ever I Return quite frequently, and I can honestly say its appeal only grows with repeated listenings." - New Age Retailer
"Her voice rings like a crystal bell . . . she makes angels appear and dance in your mind. But while critics across the country have rhapsodized about her voice, what is often overlooked is her ability to write strikingly beautiful original music in traditional idioms (an ability overlooked probably because you would rarely guess that her original tunes aren't ageless folk melodies). . . I can't recommend this disc highly enough."
- Rick Anderson, Critics' Choice
