It's a collection of 11 acoustic tracks with Cassidy herself on the guitar and an a cappella version of "I Know You By Heart".

Digital downloads include the Christmas single "Silent Night" as a bonus track.

Simon Gage of the Daily Express noted "we have this celebration of the beautiful folk singer on a collection that is stripped back so that all there is left is the voice and a guitar.

"[2] Thom Jurek of Allmusic praised the album saying "If you're a fan, you need this; if you've been wondering what all the fuss is about, the naked intimacy of Simply Eva is among the most convincing arguments yet for her posthumous reputation.

"[1] Andy Gill of The Independent wrote "On previous releases, Cassidy has usually been accompanied by small ensembles, but here she's presented completely solo, with only her own acoustic guitar supporting her on such material as "Kathy's Song" and "Autumn Leaves", the intimacy of the latter leaving one feeling like an intruder on private reverie.
