"Robert Kirby didn't initially plan to go into arranging. According to Bob Stanley's erudite sleevenotes, Kirby had intended to become a music teacher. Let's be thankful for that revised career plan, as it helped create some of the finest folk rock ever recorded. This compilation contains 20 prime examples of Kirby's wonderful orchestrations for the folk royalty of the day".

"It was Robert Kirby's arranging which gave Nick Drake's songs their brittle, haunting, almost autumnal finish and this, the first tribute to his orchestrations, is long overdue. When I heard rumours about a compilation the thought did cross my mind that it'd be loaded with the familiar and predictable. Thankfully, however, compiler Bob Stanley is a magpie who has balanced the known with gems that required serious archaeology ... Sadly, when the '70s became the '80s Robert Kirby gave up orchestrating and got an office job, though as he passed in 2009 he was plotting with Vashti Bunyan once more. "When Day Is Done" hopefully won't be the last collection of his labours, but until there are further volumes this is both enchanting and vital".
