‘… a sombre, impressive score with many passages of striking and original beauty.  Haunting melodies, reiterated like some primitive incantation, seemed to speak, admittedly in an entirely indefinable way, with the authentic voice of this country.’
The Advertiser (Australia) (Stephen Whittington), 23 August 1986 

‘… a magnificent orchestral composition…’
Monterey Herald (USA) (Barbara Rose Shuler), 2 February 1995 

‘… an exhilarating display of motor rhythms and Aboriginal elements that show the composers abiding concern for the preservation of Australia’s indigenous culture.’
American Record Guide (USA), (Robert Markow), November/December 1996
