The album has received 4- and 5-star reviews from critics, was the Sunday Times’ “Album of the Week”, and won the “World Premiere Recording of the Year” in the Presto Music Awards 2021.

“The soprano’s debut, singing 25 songs by the mixed-race Victorian composer, is a delight – she and pianist Lepper really mine their essence”

– Guardian, 4-stars
“…this is an album all lovers of English music, or of unjustly neglected curiosities, will want to have.”

– Mail on Sunday, 5-stars
“Llewellyn’s diction is excellent, you never really need the song texts, and she combines this with a lovely creamy tone and, when needed, that sense of having more reserves under the hood. Throughout she is sensitively partnered by Lepper… Like the best such discs, each song they perform makes you want to hear more.”
