Overall, it actually sounds old fashioned and well late, in that it sounds like it was released in about 86 at the height of the faux jazz wave, alongside Sade, Everything But The Girl, Carmel, Working Week etc.
The only track on it that is half decent and which I like is, The Ship of the Seasick Sailor.
