男女2人ずつによるアイリッシュ・トラッドの新人バンドのデビュー盤。フィドルやアコーディオンを中心とした軽快なナンバーを聴かせる。トラッドといっても、テックス・メックスやカントリーといったアメリカ大陸の要素もあって幅は広い。
（CDジャーナル、ミニ・レビューより）

Reeltime moves easily from straight-ahead Irish traditional to Texas swing to love songs to ragtime--constantly inducing metamorphoses of mood. Regarded as one of the best fiddlers in Ireland, Mairin Fahy (who also sings lead vocals) delivers a stunning version of the wonderful "Calliope House" following an eerie electric guitar and accordion intro. On "Bulgarian Bash," which they learned from American fiddler Kenny Baker, the duet of clarinet and sock guitar returns invoking images of a gypsy campfire. For their debut self-titled recording, Reeltime, the band has chosen a combination of reels, waltzes, slow airs and songs that showcase the tremendous talents of the individual players and their gift for arranging.
