Revue de presse :

In unashamedly jaunty mode, Archer sparkles his way to Christmas glory . . . indeed, the proficient and self-aware manner with which Archer confirms our expectations while simultaneously confounding them is fiercely impressive . . . But the carol's theme keeps coming back for more, and in the end I'd suggest that anyone with a hole in their Christmas programme just schedules it and be done with it. (Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ September 2012)
