  • There are so many levels of brilliance to the musical arragment of this song that I don't even know where to begin. It's truly a master piece of style, structure, harmony, tempo change. I can't imagine how many hour went into mastering this vocally, as well as writing it. Bravo!

  • This version is so intricate and amazing. I LOVE this group and I love all the soloists, especially, of course, Sam Tsui. Amazing group!

  • Someday, when there is a collection of the greatest college group a capella recordings, this will be among them and will likely be THE best!
