"In a career that has spanned four decades, this release is not a `Best Of' collection, listeners would be better directed to either 2007's 5 CD boxed-set Reaching Back: the Life and Music of Steve Tilston or even 1999's A Greening Wind, the first collection of songs and instrumental pieces from 1971 to 1992. Indeed except for the final track, the much-lauded The Slip Jigs And Reels, the 19 songs and instrumentals selected are less obvious and possibly less familiar items from his formidable canon of work, and their re-working makes this an exceptional album indeed".
