The album was highly rated by the British music magazine "Organists Review" (Organists Review 2018-09) with five stars, which commented: "Dr. Shen,an energetic promoter of organ music across the Far East, performs impeccably with panache and virtuosity (the latter aspect making the Mendelssohn sparkle).But,equally important and gratifying, she plays with stately sensitivity and a judicious amount of rubato.Top marks."
