Reception
This release was somewhat duplicative of previous anthologies. A Celtic Roots reviewer hypothesized: "it's likely that the only reason Rogha exists at all is the fact that Clannad left RCA for Atlantic Records in the mid-'90s, leaving RCA to sift through the Clannad's leavings for material to put out one final release. ... The repetition of previous compilations is unfortunate, if understandable".[3]
