"Kermes' karakteristiske glid på tonerne og hendes tendens til at intonere for lavt irriterer. Jeg må nok en gang konstatere, at jeg faktisk har det en smule svært med hende, selv om hendes greb om musikken fra 1600-tallet - om så der er tale om fransk pragt hos Antoine Boësset eller spansk kastagnetledsaget 'amor loco' hos den i dag glemte Luis de Briceño - har en egen styrke i sin grundige inderlighed".

"Vurdering: CD des Monats" - "Mit ihrem Konzeptalbum Love beschenken die geniale Simone Kermes und ihre wunderbaren Mitmusiker die Welt mit eine Aufnahme, die in seltener Weise glücklich macht, weil sie so sinnlich, so emotional und dabei höchst durchdacht und sensibel ist".

"The evidence of [Kermes's] close sympathy with the players of La Magnifica Comunità is everywhere abundant ... The sum total, powerfully original and committed in imaginative endeavour and fulfilment, is an inward-looking artistic vision ... Best taken in small doses, I'd say, otherwise Kermes's reliance on slow tempos, white-ish tone and dreamy half-voice quickly becomes enervating - but on its own terms undeniably fascinating".

"Kermes barely engages her support for much of the repertoire, preferring an intimate, white, often breathy delivery ... Accompaniments are treated freely, and many works are newly arranged to bring a more folky, unplugged sort of atmosphere ... Most successful, though, are the dramatic recitatives and ariosos that demand Kermes finally release something closer to her full voice, showing off the agility and vocal rhetoric that is her greatest strength".
