"If you know Cara Dillon you'll know what to expect. Lovely, winsome touch that's easy on the ear, has won her plenty of admirers who've taken her to the outskirts of mainstream approval and won her cartloads of awards. Everything she touches is unerringly tasteful with immaculate arrangements and perfect production by her husband Sam Lakeman and A Thousand Hearts faithfully follows the same format. Guest appearances from Aoife O'Donovan, John Smith and one-time Eagles bassist Timothy Schmit contribute to the gentles lushness surrounding a healthy mix of traditional and contemporary songs based around the love themes suggested by a cover sleeve festooned with multi-coloured hearts".
