"Solo career spanning set, long needed, by one of Scotland’s finest songwriters" (Uncut)
"I don't know why Jackie Leven isn't better known - he should be revered...I hope this Straight Outta Caledonia compilation makes a difference. It’s a lovely introduction that just scratches the surface. I’d love it if, having listened to it, people went off and explored Jackie’s discography. You could spend your whole life there, getting to know this guy." (Ian Rankin, The Guardian)
