Review

The Canberra Times' Debbie Cameron noted the album was, "a cocktail of styles — from a strong piano accordion and calypso sound in "A Place in the World", to good dancing in "Country Girls", through a rocky but unremarkable "The Final Touch" and to a tragic "Sons of the Sea"".[1] Although Cameron preferred Sonola, she found A Place in the World had "the action, the beat and the melody of Ry Cooder".[1]
