Music critic Alex Henderson, writing for Allmusic, wrote the album "is hardly the work of a Celtic purist. But it's certainly the work of an artist who isn't afraid to take risks, and Baker's chance-taking spirit makes for an interesting, unorthodox project that can hardly be called generic." [1]
All songs traditional except where noted.
