CD GARLIC & OTHER FORCES OF NATURE presents a clever, whimsical side to this multifaceted artist. Sharp, witty writing and magical arrangements make this album a pure delight. - Allen Foster, former editor, Songwriter’s Monthly

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION is a really classy seasonal album. Lush, unusual production, no covers, nothing cute or kitchy. Kreitlow has succeeded in releasing a celebration of both winter and the holidays.  A winter treasure.  - Bernice Lewis

As I listen to BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION, I can actually catch myself longing for a romp in the snow or an ice cold slap in the face by wintry air. I am amazed that as I listen, I don’t even have to hear the lyrics about Alvins ice fishin outings or God Bless The Snowstorm to really get the feel.   - Richard Mekdeci, Sound Connections

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION is a pure and elegantly realized artistic vision with more in common with a masterful oil painting than a typical CD. Few artists are as comfortable writing such beautifully vivid verses as they are breathing truly dynamic life into such wholly captivating and inspiring performances. Mariénne is one of those few. - Allen Foster, former editor, Songwriter’s Monthly
