1. "The episode titled "Subject 13" portrayed Peter and Olivia as children (and very well-played, too, by Chandler Canterbury and Karley Scott Collins).
- EW.com

2. "Karley Scott Collins (Young Olivia) and Chandler Canterbury (Young Peter) were fantastic, not only in their acting, but also in their believability as younger versions of these characters. As I watched them, I could see their older counterparts playing the scenes the same way. I can’t imagine how tough that must have been, but they nailed it."

3. "But the two child actors – Chandler Canterbury and Karley Scott Collins – really make the episode. Chandler is great as the defiant young Peter, and Karley does well in scenes that require a wide range of emotion."
- IGN

4. "Speaking of great performances, how about Chandler Canterbury and Karley Scott Collins as Young Peter and Young Olivia? Young Olivia had Anna Torv’s line delivery down perfect, and Young Peter had some heartbreaking moments when he insisted he wasn’t crazy and first caught himself referring to this side’s Elizabeth Bishop as "Mom.""
- Los Angeles Times

5. "The child actors were great as well; I could really buy that both of them were younger versions of Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson, and strangely enough, I found their encounter fleeting enough that it was believable for them not to remember it."

6. "... and the young actors brought in to portray Olivia (Kaley Scott Collins) and Peter (Chandler Canterbury). Let's give a shout-out to the casting director who selected these two. Not only did the youngins have the gravitas to pull off strong emotional performances, but both of them perfectly emulated their elder counterparts enough to sell the idea that they were younger versions of them. Olivia's pensiveness and Peter's earnest discomfort were perfectly captured in these young performers. Without solid kids in these roles, much of the episode would have fallen flat. In particular, the climactic emotional connection shared in the field of engineered tulips."

7. "Amazingly, both Scott-Collins and Chandler Canterbury are really good as the younger versions of Olivia and Peter. Both seemed to capture the spirit of their respective older counterparts but still managed to bring their own strengths to play as well. The previously mentioned scene with Walternate was Olivia's standout moment; while Canterbury had several, including his attempt to get home through the ice at the beginning of the episode. But most of all, it was Canterbury's eyes and facial expressions that really sold me that he was Peter as a child."

8. "First, I would just like to say that we need to applaud the casting director for finding the perfect Young Olivia (Karley Scott Collins) and Young Peter (Chandler Canterbury); these two young actors beautifully captured the characters of Olivia and Peter in such a haunting way, that I was truly starting to believe that these two actors were related to Torv and Jackson."

8. "Major kudos to Chandler Canterbury who played young Peter. I wanted to adopt him about ten minutes into the episode. Not only did he play the part well, but he got all the Peterisms spot-on, right down to Josh Jackson’s intense-angry face and easy side-smile."
- Spoiler TV

9. "This episode could easily have been a sour note in an otherwise stellar season if the actors cast as young Peter and young Olivia were anything short of perfect. Fortunately, Chandler Canterbury (Peter) and Karley Collins (Olivia) are some of the most talented child actors I’ve seen on TV since Lost. They tackled every heartbreaking scene with the confidence of actors twice their age."
- The Televixen

10. "I thought the young actors did pretty good jobs. Particularly Chandler Canterbury, who did some things that actually made me sympathize with grown boy Peter a bit more. Credit goes to the writing, casting and directing as well. But, as young actors go, I thought he captured some interesting elements of the Peter Brand."
- Fringe Bloggers

11. "At the top of the list of those who should take credit here are those who cast the two adolescents to play the young Peter and Olive, who are both quite polished actors for such a young age. Chandler Canterbury is remarkably good as Peter, even getting many of the mannerisms of Joshua Jackson into his subtle performance."
- Den Of Geek!

12. "Some great work by Chandler Canterbury and Karley Scott Collins as young Peter and Olivia, respectively – both were asked to handle some pretty weighty material while also having a few moments where they simply get to be normal children (the origami, the toy store), and they really stepped up to the plate."
