The Boston Herald gives the album an A. All of those years dedicated to the project, which Pareles documents in the Times piece, paid off, says Herald reviewer Bill Brotherton.

In the UK, the Financial Times gives the album a perfect five stars in a review available at ft.com. And in Australia, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and the Brisbane Times all give four stars to this "staggeringly elaborate project."
