Critical reception
British magazine Music Week rated the EP four out of five, writing, "Motherhood is treating O'Connor well, judging by this angst-free, truly beautiful EP on which the acoustic, traditional instrumentation is the perfect foil for her stunning voice. Another Chrysalis number one?"[3] David Sinclair from The Times commented, "The Gaelic avenger in a gentle, devotional mood."[4]

The UK release contains only the first four tracks.[5] The Japanese release contains tracks 1–4 and 7,[6] and an US release contains track 1–6 on one CD and track 7 on a bonus CD.[7]
