"Unerring brilliance ... The veteran singer's comeback really takes wing with this impeccably judged set".

"Albummet griber på én gang tilbage til Collins' unge år og peger på hendes betydning for yngre generationers eksperimenterende folk. Men først og fremmest er pladen en udsøgt samling smukt arrangerede sange ... Vi ved nu, at hun stadig er en stor musikalsk fortolker, men også at hendes stemme har fået et mørke og en dybde, der adskiller den ældre Shirley Collins markant fra den yngres mere æteriske vokal. Det er dog netop en kvalitet, at tiden og det levede liv fornemmes så tydeligt i hver frasering".

"Collins' second album in four years has a joyfulness about it that shifts the mood from 2016's more shivery 'Lodestar'. From opening track "The Merry Golden Tree" (whick Collins recorded with Alan Lomax in Arkansas six decades ago), her voice and her band discernibly crackle with confidence, led by a brilliant Ian Kearey on Collins' old dulcimer-banjo".

"Folk grand dame leaps from morris dance reel to electronica drone: 'Heart's Ease' is ample evidence that Shirley Collins still has the ambition, passion and guts to not only document where folk has come from but where it's going. A lodestar, indeed".
