    A real disappointment after the Friends of Rachael Worth, which I thought was a career high point. FORW was solid front to back where this album is merely a pleasant listen. Decent background music I guess.

    A lovely album, understated and tender, and indeed quite distinct from the angrier, more angular sound on Spring Hill Fair.

    Bright Yellow almost never reaches the highs of the group's classic early albums, nor does it embarrass itself by straining to duplicate them.

    Smart, sitting-room songcraft barbed with bright guitars. [21 Feb 2003, p.150]
