"The tenor John Potter has been a Genesis fan since the 1970s, and there's an audible dose of mutual fandom at the heart of this moody collection of lute songs old and new, plus the worthy breakdown of distinctions between "art song" and "pop song". The disc mixes sumptuous Campion and Picforth originals with arrangements of Warlock and Moeran and rather earnest settings by Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones and Genesis keyboardist Tony Banks. Potter sings with a straight, breathy voice, determined not to sound too classical".

"The worlds of the crossover album and of the ECM music label don't overlap much, but this is a crossover album unlike any other released up to this time. For one thing, it deals with the Renaissance lute song, not a form in which new pieces have been written often. And for another, the vocal middle ground between Renaissance vocal styles and the rock background of the contemporary composers is unique ... At a deeper level, there's the food for thought the album offers, about what popular song is, and what its relationship to cultivated traditions might be. The mood is indefinably fresh, a tangential take, but not a departure from the traditional lute song album ... A fascinating album".
