"Athanaël is sung extremely well by baritone Joshua Hopkins ... Andrew Staples is a most accomplished tenor ... Then, Erin Wall as Thaïs is really, really good, and it is only in comparison with the luxuriant voice of Renée Fleming that any criticism can be levelled ... Andre Davis paces the opera perfectly and the orchestra play splendidly. The large chorus also fulfils its rôle to perfection, and all the minor parts are sung very well indeed; there is not a weakness anywhere".

"Opera choice: To Thaīs herself Erin Wall brings a clean, pliant soprano used with discretion and judgement ... Dark of presence, Joshua Hopkins makes a vehement Athanaël ... Davis presents a perceptive account of one of Massenet's best creations, the Canadian orchestra offering fine-textured playing as they respond with assurance to the composer's unerring gift for scene painting ... It surpasses many earlier efforts not only in terms of casting and conducting, but also in taking one of Massenet's finest scores seriously".

"[Davis's] understanding of Massenet's often deliberate blurring of the dividing line between sensual and spiritual experience is unquestionably acute. The playing is excellent, with a refined sensuousness of texture throughout ... [Hopkins's] is a remarkable, unforgettable performance, sung with consistently expressive beauty, and quite superbly characterised ... makes the new recording more than well worth hearing".

"Sir Andrew Davis ... har gjort Jules Massenets opera 'Thaïs' til en af sine specialiteter ... Operaen er meget mere end den berømte 'meditation' for soloviolin ... På den nye indspilning har Andrew Davis hyret canadiske Erin Wall til at synge rollen [som Thaïs], og ifølge Financial Times er Erin Wall "en drøm af en Thaïs, der præsenterer karakteren med udstråling, uberørt skønhed og toptoner, der kildrer"".
