"The sound is great, Richard Thompson's voice is strong and the playing is exemplary. Sure, this or that personal favourite song may not have been included - but there's still plenty of time for further releases in this series, culminating, perhaps, in a huge acoustic collection. Why not?".

"When Richard Thompson sings, seas part and rocks crumble. His is an authoritative, confident voice, but also a breathlessly young one, unchanged over the years, as this second collection of acoustic versions of his back catalogue proves ... A project funded by Pledge Music-style crowdfunding, this is not a primer for his career by any means, but a welcome light on dusty corners, opening up a notable life".

"It's a great idea, cataloguing Richard Thompson's substantial material into stripped back acoustic versions as a collection; the songs themselves are of such high quality that they'll be around forever, and we all know that Thompson is a hugely accomplished guitarist ... It's a reassuring and accessible run so far and a very useful gateway for anybody looking to familiarise themselves with some of the most important song writing in modern British folk history".
