Critical reaction to A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil:

Many times has this ambitious sort of hybrid beast been brought to life, rarely has it been so masterfully handled. The performers shine, the music provokes, the mind engages, and it gets a perfect rating because it's unique, breathtaking, and thoroughly unflawed. In short: perfect." ––Progression Magazine
