Beneath the slick production and saccharine songwriting that dominate Nothing But Love lies the unmistakable talent of two gifted siblings, who imbue even the most insipid material with sincerity. Sixteen-year-old Amanda sweetly nails the tear-jerking mother-and-daughter ballad "26 Cents" and wrings real emotion out of the corny forbidden-love saga of "Williamstown," although she's poorly served by the forced twang of "Back on My Feet." Younger brother Tyler, a mere 14, adeptly delivers the countrified puppy love of "Don't I Have a Heart" and the vaguely ‘80s-sounding reverb-filled rocker "Then There's You." Father Steve rounds out the trio, chipping in on the ubiquitous, tightly meshed harmonies and co-writing (with help from Music City pros) most of this debut's 11 songs. If the Wilkinson kids escape the Nashville studio knob-twirlers and put their limber voices in the hands of more-sophisticated songwriters, their next CD could be as remarkable as this one is bland. --Carolyn Wennblom

Nothing but Love radiates a wholesomeness that most country music, for all its family orientation, rarely possesses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive!, January 23, 2000

By A Customer

I was never really a big fan of The Wilkinsons until last summer when I saw them in concert. It was then that I finally sat up and took notice of these three great artists. My friend would always play the CD in her car and there were a few songs I liked, but seeing them perform live made me run out buy the CD the very next day! They were that good! I'm just sorry it took me so long to realize how talented they are. I am not crazy about all the songs on this CD, but the rest of the songs and the powerful voices of this family (especially Amanda!) more than make up for it. I especially love the upbeat fun tempo of "Boy oh Boy," the sweet sentiment of "26 Cents," and of course the just purely beautiful melody of the "Fly." I never tire of these songs and could listen to them all day! I really look forward to the new CD and the growth in songwriting we're sure to hear from it. Keep it up Wilkinsons -- you are incredible!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown Away!, December 30, 1999

By	Sheila Girard (Northern Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I just received the Wilkinson's CD for Christmas, and let me tell you, it's best gift ever! I totally fell in love with the first 7 songs instantly! And not to mention the fact that I was blown away by Amanda being only 16! Way to go fellow Canadians! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST!, March 9, 2000

By	Sarah (Arkansas, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

Even hearing clips from this albumn inspired me so much that I had to buy it. I have had it in my collection for almost a year now and it gets better everytime I hear it, and I can't wait for the new albumn to come out!
