"Accompanied with ideal presence by James Baillieu, Johnson displays an easy mastery of the genre, pointing the words in a way that is touching without sounding arty... The lighter, romantic songs come across with a nicley affectionate manner, thanks not least to the warmth of Johnson's middle voice." (Gramophone)
