A diaphanous orchestral fabric of beautiful transparency... Lush, evocative slow passages alternated with driving rhythms... The structure was clear and the themes showed an avoidance of cliché.

... A fluid, thoughtful work, superbly textured and unafraid to be intellectual.

—Jon Sparks, Memphis Commercial Appeal, December 2004
