"Odense Symfoniorkester spiller på hjemmebane i Carl Nielsen-salen som et klasseensemble dirigeret af amerikaneren Scott Yoo. En værdifuld skive, der kommer godt rundt om Ruders, og har man appetit på mere, er der forslag i den medfølgende booklet".

"It is the orchestra which increasingly dominates with some of Ruders's most expressively immediate music, the vocal part is hardly less memorable [Offred suite] ... The other work making its recorded debut is the Third Symphony (2006) ... The only caveat might be the modest playing time ... but it hardly detracts from the excellence of this disc overall".

"Hardly as epoch-making as those precedents, Ruder's two-movement symphony is nevertheless an imposing and impressive achievement ... Here and there in the Symphony I wondered whether a larger more full-bodied sound might not to fuller justice to the music's harmonic and timbral palette. But that is not to say this eighth issue is anything other than a fine continuation of Bridge's invaluable Ruders series".
