"With her new release (...), Watkins excels once again, courtesy of a tender and touching musical tapestry drawn from nostalgic cover songs that bring to mind childhood memories and shared stories etched in comfort and caress".

"Intended as a children's album, Under the Pepper Tree does indeed have a sweet, gentle undercurrent flowing through its 15 songs ... It's an openhearted blend whose inclusivity is underscored by the presence of Watkins' two main bands: Nickel Creek appears on "Blue Shadows on the Trail" and I'm with Her on "Tumbling Tumbleweeds." The soft focus of Under the Pepper Tree is alluring, even soothing - a record that could calm the nerves of frazzled parents as they put their child to sleep at the end of a long day".
