Amazon.co.uk Review
With all the splashy advertising and glossy press brouhaha to divert attention from the music to the concept, the question remains--can these boys actually sing? Yes they can, is the answer, and there are some things they do quite beautifully. Their own three-part a cappella arrangement of "Danny Boy" is simple and emotionally effective, and Matthew Gilsenan's plain performance of "The Quiet Land of Erin" to a solo harp accompaniment is gorgeous. The singers mostly perform in a warm but plain style that avoids operatic tics or vocal excess, but when the music veers into power-ballad territory (which it frequently does) they tend to fall back on the necessary tenorial technique to negotiate the higher passages--and the fact that the music is often not as good as their ability to sing it is revealed. Still, if you liked the theme music to Titanic there's plenty here to keep you amused. --Warwick Thompson

I certainly agree with the reviewer who found the songs lively and even brooding - the great fun and energy they have when singing live is well captured in this album, and nicely interwoven with emotionally charged songs. Irelands Call best typifies this great roller-coaster ride of a CD which has a wide appeal and whets the appetitite to see them live once more!!
Wonderful! February 7, 2001

This first cd-album by The Celtic Tenors - a group of young Irish tenors who have been performing together very successfully for the past couple of years - is a joy to listen to. Especially moving are tracks No 1, Caledonia, and No 6, The Quiet Land of Erin, and indeed Danny Boy (No 3). We certainly look forward to hearing more from these charming lads - whom we were very happy to see in concert when vising Dublin during the Summer. On that occasion their rendering of Ireland's Call (track No 9 on the album) nearly brought the house down! It was fantastic to see how three young lads and a song could rouse such feeling.
