"There are no songs [here] that haven't already been released by the band, even in various live formats, several times already. But it also becomes apparent very quickly that each member is relishing the chance to be part of the moment and, more often than not, this makes for maybe an even more subtle effort to do it as well as possible ... The original line-up with Iain Matthews, Judy Dyble, Ashley Hutchings, Richard Thompson, Simon Nicol and guest Dave Mattacks manage to make songs they recorded a lifetime ago (...) sound fresh and exciting even now, and when they are joined by Chris While to sing for the later line-up, the choice of Suzanne is inspired - While possibly being the best choice to sing "the Sandy part" to date ... The approach taken of performing a few songs from each line-up as authentically as possible is very effective, and there is no particular sense of the evening being a mere history lesson. At the most basic level, it's just great and uniquemusic,performed freshly by the band that wrote and recorded it sometime in the last few decades but which stands up in its own right here and now".
