"Donegal fiddle music is inevitably intertwined with the lonesome caoining of Johnny Doherty, but the north-west's appetite for unfettered merriment is seldom aired with such panache as it is by Liz Doherty on this, her second solo outing. The sheer exuberance ricocheting across the bow of the album on the opener, Johnny Sunshine / The Blue Lamp, is so infectious, it'd surely bypass the sternest of anti-happiness league inoculations. Then again, Doherty's bareboned immersion in the Scottish borrowing, Michael's Mazurka, reeks of a poignancy that only a long-time inhabitant of the music can create. Producer and counterpointing fiddler Gerry O'Connor lends his by now trademark joie de vivre to the mix. Fiddle music that tweaks heartstrings and smile lines in equal measure. Imbibe and delight in its glories."
