★★★★★ Editors Choice “The singers’ vocal blend is impeccable…The sound is traditional but has an entirely novel flavor…An entirely distinctive release that will be treasured by lovers of English choral singing”– AllMusic.com
“The choir’s sound is fresh and supple, the blend sweet and nicely balanced… All phrased with care and musicality – directional without being mannered… There’s a lot of care and affection in this recording, from the program notes to the choice of works and performances. Apart from being an attractive listen hopefully will also prove a valuable resource for other ensembles”
– Gramophone
★★★★ “Standout tracks include Roxanna Panufnik’s beautiful setting of Ubi caritas…against a lilting piano accompaniment, and a gorgeous set of evening canticles by Wayne Marshall…radiant phrases allow the girls’ fresh young voices to bloom.” – Choir and Organ
“There is much to applaud on this debut recording by the Pembroke College Girls’ Choir…a particular standout in Eric Whitacre’s haunting ‘The Seal Lullaby’” – Cross Rhythms
“The breadth, maturity, and cohesiveness of the overall sound in both unison and harmonic moments is admirable, and the subtlety, intonation, and balance in the solos from the older members in particular stands out as a marked display of musicianship well beyond their years…a credit to Lapwood’s conducting and leadership, and the girls’ determination and hard work…Bravo Pembroke College Girls’ Choir” – Expressive Audio
