Folkyo received positive reviews, praising the album's musical intricacy and Manning's voice and writing,[2] as well as its complex tones and clever lyrics.[3]
According to a Toronto Quarterly article in 2012, "[Manning's] songwriting is sincere and superbly crafted, her finger-picking skills are unmatched and her voice is truly unmistakable with a timbre that reminds one of Roy Forbes, Joni Mitchell and Dolly Parton all at once."[4]
