    Espers II is both wondrous and troubling.

    Artfully arranged songs about planets and beasts and bittersweet harmonies recall British folk-rock combos like Fairport Convention and Pentangle without coming off as retro or twee. [Jun 2006, p.137]

    The main attraction is still Baird's and Weeks's haunting voices, which turn a risky experiment into a genre-defining classic.
