Reviews
It is a happy creation and has the added advantage of being quite unsophisticated. Its appeal to children should be irresistible.
—William Varcoe, The Lincolnshire Echo, 15th November 1968
(The Danish and Swedish carols) both have a haunting musical arrangement which will make them an unusual acquisition to the Christmas repertoire.
—Max Laidlaw, The Leader Post (Regina, Canada), 23th August 1969
