"Every [Albion Christmas] show is like having them round to play snug by your own fireside, and at Christmas that's appealing ... It's positively refreshing to have taste of Yuletide without the pound signs, television overkill and with a social and communal root. Maybe even old-fashioned and proud of it! Recorded as live as can be, between-numbers tomfoolery preserved in full, One For The Road is chiefly acoustic ... Two guitars and an appealingly fat-sounding melodeon wrap around the sort of harmonies that most bands can only dream of, the material a jolly knees-up to celebrate the season".
