"... performances that remind us anew why these pieces were everybody's favorites."
- William Littler, Toronto Star
"A fine album for both artistic integrity and the sheer pleasure of old friends brought back to life as one first heard them. Pleasures such as this shouldn't be denied oneself." - Bill Watt, The News/Post
"A sweet and congenial disc, happily marrying history and nostalgia for a purer order of musicality." - Montreal Gazette
