Nick Coleman from The Independent wrote: "She was the 1960s 'folk' diva who captivated Stephen Stills et al and stood fast against the forces of ugliness and repression with a voice like a silken banner whipped in a hurricane of romantic right thinking: a blue-eyed, wheat-blonde Joan Baez. Here she is again, reflecting on the days of her youth, with simple piano-driven arrangements."[4]
