"The album's seemingly effortless flow makes you feel as though you're enveloped in the warm glow of a wine-tinged winter's evening. Reader's voice is as expressive and clear as ever, while the experienced musicians supply a framework that allows the songs themselves to remain the primary focus; particularly effective are the interweaving of an accordion and a soprano saxophone on Midnight In Paris 1979. Reader's own explanatory notes enrich these universal songs with a personal edge, completing a particularly satisfying package".

"Her usual touring band are augmented by the cream of the British folk scene, here producing a lush, relaxed, smoky, occasionally jazzy French café feel that's a perfect foil for Eddi's downright glorious singing ... From the opening Gus Kahn standard I'll Never Be The Same to the perfect closing gem of [Boo] Hewerdine's It's A Beautiful Night there's nary a duff track ... It really is alovely laid-back album: light the fire, open a bottle of something warming, snuggle up to a favourite person and let Eddi transport you".
