Life, is considered pivotal in the development of English folk rock music. The album also gave the band their first UK chart success, reaching #12 in the UK album chart (the second highest position in the band’s career), while the single release, “Si tu dois partir”, climbed to #21 in the UK singles chart. Other highlights include Sandy Denny’s “Autopsy” and “Percy’s Song”, which features vocals by Iain Matthews.

Unhalfbricking received a 5-star review in AllMusic, with Richie Unterberger describing it as “a transitional album for the young Fairport Convention, in which the group shed its closest ties to its American folk-rock influences and started to edge toward a more traditional British folk-slanted sound”.
