"Colm O'Brien's voice is ideally suited to the lyrics and the backing is just right."
 
"Seldom do we hear our well-known tracks tackled so well as Rud Eile do......"
 
"Another evocative offering here is Finbar Furey's 'Lonesome Boatman'"
 
"They also give us a fantastic version of Si Beag, Si Mor....that would gladden the heart of the blind harper were he alive today."
