said: "The album mixes new interpretations of traditional ballads like "Nottamun Town", here rendered almost as a raga, with much newer songs, such as their soulful take on Dylan's "I'll Keep It With Mine" and their ponderous version of Mitchell's "Eastern Rain". The best material on Holidays, though, may be their own—the stomping blues-rock of "Mr. Lacey", the racing "No Man's Land", and the stirring afterlife anthem "Meet on the Ledge". 1999 album The album title was re-used for the 1999 CD release What We Did on Our Holidays - An Introduction to Fairport Convention on Island Records as IMCD 263.
