Allmusic[3]

The Bolton News described Still Life as the marriage of classical and popular music at its very best.[4] Allmusic's Tomas Mureika retrospectively called it "one of Haslam's career highlights: a gorgeous, lyrical, and endlessly listenable collection of classical pop nuggets, topped off with brilliant—often profound—lyrics."[3]
