"Lady Maisery create some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene. Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew are all involved in other projects, but here they work together with an impressive blend of ease and sophistication on an album that matches delicate a cappella singing against passages of multi-instrumental work, with Askew's harp and concertina joining Rheingans's fiddle, banjo and piano, plus James's accordion and celebrated "foot percussion"".

"The trio's captivating, creatively "weaving and spinning" vocal work bestows its customary magic (...), with continually adventurous harmonies, if anything even more richly accomplished than hitherto. At the same time, their versatile musical backings, while still commendably spare, make even greater use of unusual colours and timbres with a carefully balanced (also "woven and spun") texture that never feels cluttered. The musical content and intellectual philosophy are both brilliantly reflected in the opulent art-nouveau-styled package, which is worthy of special mention".
