"Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin are different (...), reliant on an unusually textured atmosphere that, while essentially English in source, is flavoured by a myriad of different styles and influences. You could almost imagine Hannah Martin's rich natural vocal equally effective in settings as diverse as classical concert halls and smoky jazz joints. Henry, too, is a rare talent, playing dobro and lap steel guitar with almost casual virtuosity; his accompaniment to Martin's heartfelt delivery of Banks Of The Nile for one makes you listen anew to this hardy old veteran of the folk revival. Together they create a sense of mystery that washes over you via thoughtfully evocative material ... The album's a little too downbeat and one-paced to be truly gripping, but the depth of thought that's clearly gone into the arrangements and songmaking process is to be lauded and (...) they've irrefutably established their own style. That in itself is no mean achievement".
