    I think Virgene meant to give the album a 10. Mine's an 8, because I'm not an out-and-out fan of Gill's voice and singing style, but this is definitely the best of his albums that I've heard. He's a renowned guitar player, and I've been searching for a decent set of songs that showcases that talent: this is it. I often say that records these days are too long, and this is no exception, but it would be hard for me to pick any tracks to leave off the record. Expand

  1. Lyrically it's so strong and vulnerable that it works, leaving the listener haunted with the notion that something special has occurred, that he or she has born witness to a man becoming aware of the preciousness of his own life.
  2. A crowning achievement.
  3. A lively and assured return to form. [14 Feb 2003, p.73]
