“What is clear from this CD is that Harris has a knack of being able to shake lovely melodies out of his sleeve almost at will...and to sew them together into attractive lyrical bundles that are bound to please all but the most 'hardline' audiences. Though Harris's music can seldom be described as virtuosic or even likely to cause any professional to break into too much of a sweat, he is treated to sterling silver performances by all involved”
