"The Rough Guides have had some notable success with compilations of Irish and Scottish music, but never a cross-national Celtic album until now ... Between the multitude of cultures the music remains a relative constant, working as the glue that holds the album together despite stylistic differences and linguistic changes. Somewhat less coherent than the more targeted predecessors in the line, but more interesting as a result as well".

"This CD doesn't hang together very coherently as a musical collection, and it serves as a reminder that the grossly-overused word "Celtic" has very little meaning as a musical term. However, the welcome aspect of this Rough Guide release is the bonus CD by the Cornish group Dalla, who have reinvented Cornish music using a Breton sensibility, incorporating the clarinet to do duty as an English bombarde. Dalla's prolific work in re-imagining Cornish music is comparable to Fernhill's work with Welsh music, and it is therefore very good to see Dalla getting the wider exposure that they deserve".
