"Having lived much of her life away from her native Derry, Cara Dillon identifies with the "songs of departure and longing for home" that make up her seventh album. There are a pair of notable originals, but traditional ballads dominate ... Dillon's charm lies in both her crystalline, melodic voice and the unusual fluency she brings to antique material ... Producer (and husband) Sam Lakeman supplies spare piano and guitar accompaniments, and Kris Drever duets on Sailor Boy. Gorgeous stuff".

"It's wonderful that Cara has chosen to give us a stripped-back album ... Her voice isn't bathed in reverb, multi-tracked or battling multifarious instruments. This is Cara, up close and personal. And all the better for it".

"It's a long time since Cara Dillon left home in Derry for her adventures with Equation and beyond, but spiritually (...) she returns there on this gently heartfelt reflective selection of songs largely rooted in her homeland. A master of sparse accompaniment, Sam Lakeman creates the melancholy landscape for her quiet deceptions of innocent nostalgia, loss and homesickness with his piano arrangements and unfussy production".
