    Tremendous performance from Richard Thompson as he revisits some of his best songs. He plays them with a lot of affection and verve. As always, astonishing guitar work and great songs. A must for fans even though they would be very familiar with these songs but also a fine entry point for the uninitiated.

    Pared back or not, The strength of these songs means Thompson can always stand alone. [Sep 2014, p.115]

    The results are pretty rewarding overall, even if the strictly unadorned arrangements might have occasionally benefitted from some counterbalancing extra instrumental layers.
