Sean Reagan, a reporter from the Daily Hampshire Gazette, stated in an article about a performance that "Wheelan's voice, alternating between sweet croons and bluesy moans, mesmerized the audience." Another reviewer once described one of Mary's performances as "introspective" and "uplifting." Mary views creative energy as a healing force which she brings into her life, her work, her writing, and her music.
