"The highlight of the album comes in its closing number, Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic. Here, Younger flows like liquid across her harpstrings, highlighting the expansive nature not only of Ashby's session work backing the 1976 original but also the intensely emotive potential of the harp itself. Brand New Life plays as a paean to the unwieldy instrument, celebrating two players who have imbued it with immense creativity".
