The piece is full of clever and beautiful things, the early scenes proceed almost in convulsions of orchestral brilliance within a marvellously clear and animated world whose chief references, sometimes explicit, are to Ravel and Stravinsky. The scene with the pig is deliciously rich in bass gruntings, that with the milkman cat mixes Marx brohters dialogue with a sophisticated recreation of low musical gags.'
Paul Griffiths, The Times, 6 August 1985
