"... shows Lennox Berkeley at his most beguilingly austere, with quasi-medieval vocal writing ... Rory McCleery's alto solo is outstanding, fastidiously embroidered by chamber ensemble."
- The Sunday Times
"This is a very important disc in that it presents an unjustly neglected English vocal work of the highest quality; furthermore, the performance is superb ... admirers of Lennox Berkeley’s music should put this disc at the top of their shopping list ..."
- MusicWeb International
