"Judging by the evidence here, Quince Ensemble is the Anonymous 4 of new music. They have a clear mission, superb blend, great versatility, and a general fearlessness of approach. It’s hard to imagine that the fresh, daring, often forbiddingly difficult works on this disc could be performed any better."
— Joshua Rosenblum, Opera News
"Over the years, the ensemble's rapport has grown to almost telepathic levels."
— Peter Margasak, Chamber Music America
"[Quince] weaves strangely beautiful webs of song out of their incomparably pliable vocal cords. Their intricate chamber-group interplay sounds at once ancient and avant-garde, and it abounds with surprising dynamics. QCVE could conceivably appeal to fans of 20th-century radical singers like Joan La Barbara and Urszula Dudziak."
— Dave Segal, The Stranger
“A group sure to play a big role in reconceiving vocal composition in twenty-first-century music."
— Jeremiah Cawley, The Box is Empty
