The album has been described as:

‘A great singing voice and a really rock solid understanding of the songs’ Mike Harding (BBC Radio 2)

  'English Folk-Rock at its Best' 4 Stars - R2 Magazine

'Chris’s warmth and pure ways enable him to sing wonderful shanties which put a smile on the face no matter how many times you hear them. This is his debut album and it is impressive from start to finish' – 4 1/2 stars Maverick Magazine

'Lovely arrangement and fine delivery' - English Dance and Song Magazine

‘Had there been a main brace handy when I was listening to this, it would certainly have been spliced. Break out the rations of grog, for this is British sea power at its best’ - Penguin Eggs (Canadian Magazine)

'youthful albums don't usually buzz with the assured performances found on 'Port Of Escape'. Grog or no grog, you'll be singing along' – Spiral Earth
