"Kerr and Fagan have been performing together for more than twenty years, but this album proves that their trademark high-energy live shows are as strong and as interesting as ever. An Evening With Nancy Kerr And James Fagan captures one of folk music's most enduring and talented acts in their natural habitat and provides the perfect snapshot of the duo at the top of their game".

"It's nearly a decade since they released anything as a duo (...) and this is a timely reminder of how well they work together. The sublime Kerr voice is naturally a big part of it, but the instrumental stuff (...) - lifted by enlightened arrangements and an astutely diverse selection of material, gives it all a well-rounded feel. Unsurprisingly, quite a bit of it has surfaced before in other forms, but here it all sounds fresh and vitalised ... A new Kerr song, "Lovers Of Us All", impresses greatly, and we get an unusual arrangement of "Barbara Allen", Kerr fiddle-singing with all her might ... We are reminded throughout of the great impact that can be made by two good voices of conviction allied to imaginative fiddle and strong guitar/bouzouki".
