    Though elaborately orchestrated, the songs retain their intimacy, communicated in Ashcroft's vocals, which, over the years, keep getting warmer. [7 Mar 2003, p.72]

    At times he tries too hard, but there's much here to commend. [Nov 2002, p.114]

    He sandbags every song with gigantic, syrupy string arrangements that make John Williams sound like John Cage. [#58, p.82]

    I guess Mr. ex-Mad Man Ashcroft has really big debts to pay, because the only thing that's heard in this overproduced rubbish, is "I need more money, my wife wants a new car"..this album is commercial nonsense .. This record is a shame...the songs take forever to end, the two-voice studio effect wanted to send this cd out like a freezbe..the worst thing thas has come out from ashcroft definitely..dont buy it!!! please richard talk to the shining, they also need help with their vocals...no wonder nick mccabe told you where to go!!!… Expand
