Review

Ben Ryan of Renowned for Sound gave the album 4 of out 5, saying; "If you pick this album up, expect vocal gymnastics, and expect lead-footed vibrato. Callea is obviously an accomplished vocalist, but for the greater part of the record there is just one level he sings at – there is the occasional dynamic variation, but for the most part the tunes are sung with incessant vigour." He added, "The choir is a particularly appealing feature of this record; there is great poignancy inherent in any well-organised raft of young voices, and employing them in a moving piece like 'Ave Maria' almost guarantees some goose bumps".[1]
