"Best of 2020" - "Grapefruit Records' excellent 2015 anthology Dust on the Nettles went a long way in exploring this cosmic folk-rock collision, and five years later, they offer up a welcome sequel in Sumer Is Icumen In: The Pagan Sound of British & Irish Folk 1966-1975. Like its predecessor, this set celebrates both the scenes' key players and its distant outliers, but shifts its focus to the eerier, more spiritual side of the folk-rock movement ... It's as if by tapping into the islands' ancient currents, these artists found a freedom of expression to both celebrate and liberate old mythologies while building new ones for future generations. The results are quite magical and still captivating a half-century later".

"Fans of freak-folk will find much to love in this excellent 3-disc set. Reassuringly familiar in places (it is only natural that such a set will not fail to include much-loved pioneers and progenitors like Fairport Convention and the Incredible String Band, Pentangle and Steeleye Span, not to mention highly respected obscurities from Mellow Candle, Fresh Maggots, Midwinter and Simon Finn) and admirably fresh and alien in others, `Sumer is Icumen In' is yet another fantastic and worthy effort from Grapefruit Records. It simultaneously brings two very different eras to life and breaths renewed vitality into time-tested tales of wicked werefoxes, fire leaps, sanctuary stones and treacherous pine nooks where lust bares its teeth and whines".
