Nick Drake: Bryter Layter
Jerry Gilbert, Sounds, 13 March 1971
I GET THE FEELING that only a Joe Boyd-Paul Harris alliance could have produced such a superb album as this. And once again a great slice of the credit must go to Robert Kirby, whose splendid arrangements are as noticeable as they were on Nick Drake's last album.
