"The sensitivities surrounding the album content relate to the passing of Douglas's mother ... With O'Donovan's softly woven vocals, the band sometimes elicits notions of famed bluegrass artist Alison Krauss' delving into the jazz vernacular. However, Douglas's bold, lyrically charged, and melodic lines often shade, counter and support O'Donovan's harmonious choruses".

"He's reinvented himself repeatedly since he stormed the scene in the early '90s ... On this outing the trumpeter unveils by means of a spiritually oriented song cycle, perhaps his version of Americana, but something also much more idiosyncratic and personal ... The surprise is Aoife O'Donovan. A singer of great authority who has led her bluegrass band Crooked Still for the last decade. Her voice is often whispery, but never anemic. She's able to phrase inventively and articulate clearly, which is key because the lyrics are key to Douglas' program".
