"Folky dance-alongs such as No Secrets and Make The Right Noises are instantly likeable. Leonard Cohen's First We Take Manhattan also gets a masterful reworking, with the fiddling of Phil Beer providing an urgent undercurrent befitting the tone of the song." - EDS Magazine - read full review
“..one of the most cohesive, diverse and persuasive sets of their entire career… one of the most consistently adventurous collections in the Show Of Hands catalogue. May the quartet merrily toast their achievement on this album, then vigorously play it out into the battlefield that is the UK’s live circuit. They will be touring arguably their most fully realised collection to date.” - Folk Radio - read full review
