"The trio known as Quercus took shape during the sessions for June Tabor's stellar 2005 album At the Wood's Heart. Their self-titled debut offering was cut during a concert on a 2006 tour and issued by ECM seven years later; it was celebrated across the globe. Nightfall was cut in a studio in Somerset and produced by pianist Huw Warren and saxophonist Iain Ballamy. The album's program consists of folk songs, four standards of different varieties, and a pair of original instrumentals that display Warren's and Ballamy's dialogic abilities and add to the group zeitgeist of discovery and invention".

"Jazz-folk fusions full of quiet surprises - Another Quercus set with not a sound out of place, but a wealth of quiet surprises just the same".

"The second album by the unlikely, but oddly compelling amlgamation of three seemingly contrastingly individual performers (...) is an involved, yet involving mood piece full of unexpected material. No gimmicks, grandstanding or quick fixes here, the mood is painstakingly constructed as Bellamy's emotional, slow-burn sax and Warren's deeply atmospheric piano arrangements quietly drift around the distinctive voice of Tabor, as intensely still as ever ... It is something of a masterclass in reconstruction. Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" is a study in reflective sadness, with scarcely a nod to any of its several trillion predecessors. "Auld Lang Syne" is delivered in decidedly funereal fashion, more graveyard than fond nostalgia; and their performance of Stephen Sondheim's "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" is tender, thoughtful and utterly beautiful. There's a profoundly weighty delivery of "One I Loved You Dear" and an almost mystical interpretation of thegreattraditional song, "The Cuckoo", Warren's piano weaving all sorts of magic beneath Tabor's storytelling".
