"The four albums here, Nicola, Birthday Blues, Rosemary Lane, and Moonshine, were issued before, during, and after Pentangle's run ... This volume charts Jansch's development as a songwriter as well as an interpreter who remains devoted to his roots while restlessly expanding the reach of his oeuvre. This music has aged exceptionally well. A Man I'd Rather Be, Pt. 2 also comes complete with a fine set of new liners by Mojo magazine's Dave Henderson and unseen photos".

"Ultimately, A Man I'd Rather Be (Part II) is best suited to those who may be aware of Jansch's formidable reputation, and ready to begin some intensive album acquisition. Given the evidence provided by what's heard here, that effort is certainly well warranted".

"Taken together, the collections offer a fascinating catalog of Jansch's artistic growth, from his early, spare and pristine musicianship through his embrace of the recording studio and its sonic potentials in symphonic accompaniment ... The eight albums collected on the two anthologies are offered as originally released with no extras, and this makes the collection especially effective for new fans discovering this extraordinary work ... Particularly in light of the current vinyl resurgence, offering these albums free from extraneous tracks allows new listeners to experience the work as Jansch himself intended".
