Reception
Jo Litson from LimeLight magazine gave the album 4 ½ out of 5 saying; "The duo bring a fresh, distinctive, original take to the repertoire, with Noonan’s exquisite vocals soaring delicately over Schaupp’s virtuosic, equally expressive playing, as they caress the melodies to create a meltingly laid-back album with a spare, minimal beauty that would soothe the most furrowed brow." adding it's "Divine".[2]
