”This is rather sweet actually......Songs like 'The Long Dusty Road', 'One Step Two' and 'Carolina Dreamin' could easily have sat in the repertoire of Messrs Clarke, Hicks and Elliott (Hollies) during their halycon years......... With some excellent vocals and performances, this makes for a pleasant, easy listening experience. And in case you're wondering, easy listening is a good thing in my book.

It's the kind of record that lazy, summer days were designed for, and if we ever get one in Scotchland, then this will be getting a lot of play."
