"But from the moment Reilly’s guitar appears on opener Sketch for Summer – its languid echoing tones a perfect evocation of a long, sun-dappled July afternoon – you feel drawn into a secret world, filled with private feelings."

Great review of a great album. It's one I played throughout my teens and still listen to all these years later.
