    Merritt is a witty writer but, particularly after the frequently magnificent 69 Love Songs, that wit is becoming over-familiar.

    DVD visuals would help, but it still beats Andrew Lloyd Webber. [17 Mar 2006, p.114]

    Each of these tracks - the duelling-banjo Train Song; the elegiac And He Would Say - is really perfectly formed, beautifully satisfying in structure alone.
