"Four Stars ... this enjoyable programme is a rare treat ... this is very much Claire Jones's disc. Solo harp opportunities are not plentiful, so one can hardly blame Jones for making the most of her limelight. She performs diligently and allows the instrument to gleam and twinkle sonically ..."
- Classic FM
"Five Stars ... Claire Jones captures its elusive atmosphere to perfection, playing with a beguiling lyricism and subtle range of hues and colours ... (she) proves the soul of discretion, weaving in and out of the orchestral tapestry with a sensitivity and panache that enchants the senses ... (she) plays with a warmth, charm and relaxed ease ideal for winter evening listening ... exemplary, atmospheric sound."
- BBC Music Magazine
