"Early music groups have come back to Palestrina after a long period in which they weren't much interested in him, and fans of Renaissance sacred music will definitely find this disc of interest, especially with fine sound".

"The approach to the Mass shows a solid understanding of the conventions of singing these texts ... However, some delicate musical details are obscured ... The motets on the disc have been selected to reflect the Holy Year of Mercy declared by the Pope in 2015 ... Recording in the Sistine Chapel must be difficult, but the lower voices can sound muddy and indistinct, as in the Hosanna of the Mass and elsewhere".

"The exiting partnership between the Sistine Chapel Choir and Deutsche Grammophon continues to deliver atmospheric and thought-provoking performances of Palestrina's polyphony ... In [the Ave Maria] they also use falsettist countertenors, whose tone noticeably lightens the overall texture and helps to find a more intimate quality. This result is fascinating: the sheer sense of height and depth of the building is considerably enhanced and suddenly the polyphony is soft-focus".
