'With her mezzo still steady and her diction a model, she is able to convey the varied repertoire here with admirable focus and expressivity, ideally supported by expert accompanist Simon Lepper.'

BBC Music Magazine

'It’s a wonderfully intimate disc that communicates the tangible enjoyment that she and Lepper find in performing together […] Time has inevitably taken its toll on Palmer’s voice, though her way with her material is, as one might expect, penetratingly insightful […] Lepper is unfailingly supportive and comparably insightful […] It’s a lovely disc. Do listen to it.'
Gramophone
