"Laura Claycomb's heroine was very finely sung, with bright, open tone and excellent diction: the character does not give a singer much to work with, but she did all she could to portray this capricious 17 year old: 'Quand j'aurai votre âge' may not have displayed much vocal colour but the music was articulated with impressive skill, and 'Mère de tendresse' was beautifully phrased. Ms Claycomb has real stage presence, too, and she and Ford would have brought the house down with their blazing 'Quand des sommets de la montagne' if most of them hadn't been dozing off by that time, not from any ennui but simply from the heat"
