"The choice of material is a little unadventurous, but her singing is as distinctive and impressive as ever, and she is backed by a remarkable band ... The best tracks are an exquisite piano and fiddle-backed treatment of the murder ballad Clerk Saunders, and Archie Fisher's poignant seafaring lament, The Final Trawl".

"When you get musicians of the quality of Jerry Douglas, Tim Edey, Kris Drever, Natalie Haas, Roty Butler and Aoife Donovan involved it's maybe foolish not to give them their heads and only a philistine wouldn't appreciate what they do. The point remains that the quiet subtlety of Smith's sumptuous voice - and perhaps more importantly the potency of the songs - is occasionally sacrificed in the parade of brilliant musicianship ... [but] the Transatlantic Sessions effect still brings its rewards when [producer Jerry] Douglas gets to work earnest and the band start to flow. Smith undertakes some formidable traditional material here, too".
