  1. This is a great album, possibly the finest covers record in recent memory, and it’ll take some beating in 2008.
  2. Here, as elsewhere, Thing of the Past is as educational as it is delightful. [June 2008, p.148]

    The mood is sweet and slightly whacked-out as Cabic brings campfire cheeriness to Norman Greenbaum;s 'Hook & Ladder' and wistful resilence to Ian (Fairport) Matthews' 'Road to Ronderlin.' [June 2008, p.109]
  4. 60
    As fans of the or two previous albums might expect, there's little on this covers collection that proves Vetiver's love of the three-minute pop format: the mood is instead tuned to the free-festival campfire and the misty morning meditation. [July 2008, p.111]
