"Virginia Astley sings with a fragrant wispiness that would make Ghengis Kahn take up maccrami. As a hymn from an open heart it's impossible to listen to and not be touched."

"A sad tale of love grown old with a watercolour vocal from Miss Astley and a pretty arrangement of classical tinge."

"A Ravishing Beauty indulges in more than a modicum of the pretty-pretties. But tinkling bells and a twinkling belle do not a substantial pop record make!"
