"Drew Hayden Taylor has a deft touch for mixing comedy and commentary in an entertaining and all-Canadian form of social satire." -- Vancouver Sun

"Very tender scenes, very loving scenes... its very well done... I think its a very clever idea that Taylor had here in that instead of going to the "scoop up" and giving us a play about a child who had a horrible life, he gives us instead a story about a child who had a very, very good life. And shows that despite the wonderful life this girl had, she still wants to know who she is and thats the drama!" -- Bill Robertson - Saskatoon CBC Radio

"Taylor uses a light touch to open up painful subject in his entertaining new play... delivers some great one liners, sets up a juicy conflict and quickly and credibly captures the white parents in their amusing, affectionate, assured banter... he has allowed something painful to be examined and easily entered into by a laughing native or white viewer." Elissa Barnard - Halifax Chronicle-Herald
