The series has garnered some marvelous critical reviews and comments, including the following:

"From a pure enjoyment standpoint, these are hard to beat."(Fanfare Magazine, Nov/Dec 2009)

"Each Reicha Quintet is a masterpiece of the highest order. Those who ignore this legacy are missing out not only on some terrific wind music but on some of the finest music ever penned." (Audiophile Audition)

"The Westwood Wind Quintet has a standard of ensemble playing that is nothing short of breathtaking."(International Record Review)

"The Westwood Wind Quintet was described by the late Robert Shaw as 'a complete and completely satisfying musical experience.' From the evidence of my ears, the group is ideal for recording what is planned as a complete cycle of Reicha's 24 wind quintets." (Classik Reviews, Atlanta Audio Society)

"The players seek, find, and reveal the numerous qualities that have kept Reicha’s Quintets alive for almost two centuries...recording is invigorating, fresh, and imaginative... performances radiate affection for the music and technical virtuosity. Exceptional recordings. Top-notch playing that can only be envied by lesser ensemble. Exceptional Reicha project, splendidly played" (Fanfare Magazine)
