"From the sumptuous strings of the intro, through to the chatting with the ‘tree people’ (who are hanging around the edge of the theatre to catch a free view of the concert) everything about this album is piping hot comfort.

"Amazing how they play sax and trumpets as it would be guitars. Listen to the final part of Now That You've Gone - it's arranged almost like Led Zeppelin. But there's trumpets instead of guitar :)" Reply
"A great album & their best work, every track is good even the Richard Carpenter vocals on the track Piano Picker.
