Entertaining and attractive anthology gets better and better as it proceeds. John McCabe has the full measure of Satie's understated melancholy and cool, lyrical nostalgia...response of the pianism places this amongst the finest of Satie collections.
Penquin Guide 3 stars

McCabe is an intelligent and sympthetic exponent...catching its gently disconsolate atmosphere...helped by intimate recording...Sonatine played affectionately...in the quirky Sports, atmosphere takes precedence.
