"... there's a real sense of weight and history to these songs, directly stemming from Pollock's contemplation of such themes. (That title's no accident.) This shouldn't come as any surprise: as one quarter of The Delgados, Scotland's most perennially underrated band, Pollock has pedigree in emotionally stirring, widescreen indie-rock, and her last (2010) album The Law of Large Numbers is an enduring, ceaselessly enjoyable work ... Harperfield is, happily, a worthy follow-up".

"Her quick turns of phrase and penchant for punctuating moments of self-doubt with colorful bits of impressionistic flair and left-field melodic rejoinders invoke names like Kate Bush, Nick Drake, and Sandy Denny, but the truth is, she's been perfecting her particular brand of moody, bucolic baroque pop for over two decades now, and with the marvelous In Search of Harperfield, that work has finally paid off".
