"The chief asset ... is soprano Susan Gritton's unaffected engagement with Holst's bright-eyed and full-hearted response to Whitman. Andrew Davis conducts a warm and idiomatic account".

"Præstationerne er gode på denne vol. 3 i Chandos' Holst-serie, hvor hver cd indtil videre har budt på et forskelligt BBC-orkester. Men sopranen Susan Gritton har meget at synge, og jo højere hendes stemme går op, desto mere anstrengt og træt lyder den".

"Vurdering: Critic's choice" - "This is surely Holst's greatest work. Andrew Davis is fast becoming the most incisive and authoritative interpreter of British music and this wonderful recording is testimony ... This is a musical treat which is a must for any lover of Holst and the British choral tradition".

"Overall this is a fine performance, subtly recorded to do justice to Holst's always sensitive and lucid orchestration".
