John France concluded his May 2007 Music Web review:
This is a brilliant CD with a well-balanced programme. The contemporary works are not, as so often, makeweights. In fact the most impressive piece is the Dankworth and the most moving the Brooks. This recording is a fine introduction to the glories of British, or more precisely. English string music. Each and every piece on this CD (...) should be in the repertoire of orchestras and ensembles the length and breadth of this country - if not the Classical World.
