"John passed away [in the middle of a tour with Wizz], bringing a premature end to this all-too-brief musical partnership. Happily, the duo had nearly completed this album ... Many of the tracks honour their contemporaries, most notable Bert Jansch, whose [three tracks] are all treated to fine versions. So too is "Mountain Rain" by Archie Fisher who, along with Davy Graham, was one of the originators of the UK folk guitar movement ... Our heroes' mutual hero Big Bill Broonzy is represented with the opening instrumental "Hey Hey", and a crackling, Jones-sung live reading of "Glory Of Love", while Renbourn gets to wrap his tonsils round songs by Bob Dylan, Mose Allison and Joseph Spence. The John & Wizz duo was one that perhaps shouldn't have worked (their arrangements involved Renbourn assiduously transcribing Jones' instinctive improvisations) but, by God, it really did".
