Reviews
[edit]"This is a young precocious album shot through with good old scally suss."
Mick Middles (Record Collector) [1]
"There's not a weak track nor a less than brilliant jewel to be found within this set. The Onset at their grandest, and an album that will leave listeners desperate for more."
Jo-Ann Greene (allmusic) [2]
"That these songs should have had to wait so long to see the light of day seems criminal, but regardless of its posthumous status you can rest assured it's one of the best albums you should actively make the effort to discover for yourself..."
Tim Peacock (Whisperin and Hollerin) [3]
