✭✭✭✭ "Stock is a great fan of Coward and wants to do him justice, which he certainly does … [Stock has included other composers] Not only does it work but it also refreshes a song that has maybe become a little cliched through the years … [the album] is done with such panache and love that it works … What this album does have is originality and therefore, if I were to have one in my collection – it would probably be this one."
Nick Wakeham, Musical Theatre Review
"an easy and enjoyable listen … Stock’s typically British stance suits the material no end, and is particularly fitting to the spoken word as Coward's undeniable wit comes across brilliantly … his beautiful vocals shine in ‘London Pride’, and it's this type of number that makes the album such a pleasure to listen to."
Jenny Ell, BroadwayWorldUK
10/10 "Stock has a clear voice, that is perfect for Coward songs … the pure talent on show make this album an extremely pleasant listen … the excellent Inga Davis-Rutter on piano … some clever medleys … another unqualified success. More please."
Ian Gude, Review Graveyard
"How refreshing to receive a new recording that cleverly combines a selection of Coward classics with some contemporary pieces from great composers and lyricists … Weaving this programme together is that master performer, Ben Stock … His style and presentation reinvigorate and bring to life these timeless standards … wonderfully funny interpretation … Sometimes accompanying himself, he also has the excellent Inga Davis-Rutter, and together, their uncluttered arrangements allow the contents of each song to sound fresh and original … a ‘must have’ recording to broaden any Coward collection.."
Stephen Duckham, Noël Coward Society
