"All the qualities that have made this one of the most important series of the past two decades are here, as they have been in the previous 54 volumes ... [Gloria in excelsis Deo's] positioning as the final work on the final disc is apposite: the concluding chorus is a splendidly grand one to celebrate the culmination of this endeavour".

"Der er gået 18 år, siden Masaaki Suzuki første gang inviterede indenfor i Bachs verden af kirkekantater og med sin milde, friske indlevelse påbegyndte en rejse, der nu er nået til vejs ende. Og Suzuki og Bach Collegium Japan svigter ikke på deres 55. album. Med fuld integritet i hver kantatesats sætter de nok en gang Leipzig-mesteren i svingninger, så alt fremstår spillevende og selvindlysende rigtigt".

"Så har Masaaki Suzuki och hans Bach Collegium Japan kommit i mål ... Allra högsta betyg till hela serien! ... Ingen av de andra [kompletta kantatserier tillgängliga på cd] kombinerar musikalitet, klarhet och precision i samma grad".

"Alle Bachs 193 kantater, en kraftpræstation, som nu afsluttes med denne sidste cd ... Det er netop den åndelige dimension, der gør denne cd så overbevisende. Den er gennemstrømmet af en musikalsk glæde ... Det er imponerende, hvor fint dette japanske ensemble rammer lige ind i kernen af europæisk opførelsespraksis ... Til glæderne hører også de fire solister".

"Vurdering: Recording of the month - Vurdering: BBC music choice" - "There's a striking transparency in even the densest of counterpoint ... Four-to-a part voices sing with total ease and unanimity ... Over 18 years Suzuki seems to have subtly changed his relationship with Bach, from a reverential approach to confident familiarity. The final Cantata of this complete series is uncannily apt: 'Gloria in Excelsis' indeed!".

"Vurdering: Gramophone choice" - "This final volume highlights the maturing sense ... of Bach Collegium Japan's growing stature and confidence to break free of generic convention towards even greater interpretative character ... No complete series can deliver equal inspiration in every volume bu Suzuki and BCJ have created an indelible mark on Bach's recorded landscape. The best is as good as anyone anywhere - and the whole ... probably the most consistent".
