"The residents typically fill the casts for these contemporary shows, and they did so Saturday with aplomb. Particularly excellent were Fran Daniel Laucerica as Miles, with a sweet tenor imbued with a refreshing optimism in the face of the rest of the opera's gloom, and Brandon Bell as the head of the family, whose frustration was palpable in his rich baritone."
- Jeremy Reynolds, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"We've heard little of baritone Brandon Bell until last evening, and the impression he made was one that makes his name on future cast lists a welcome sight. He sings with much warmth and steadiness of tone, and with neatly phrased, clear diction. The score allows little in the way of a sustained sampling of his range, but the little that did was promising. His voice seems to be a large one, not one in need of any amplification, so, again, we'll look forward to hearing much more of him in the 2023-24 lineup."

"Baritone Brandon Bell as Gomez — a role practically written to steal the show — was rib-tickling and robust. In his FWO debut, his comic timing and deft use of pantomime elevated the character and the entire production. It’s a certainty that he will be returning to the FWO stage in other roles before long."
- Richard Sylvester Oliver, The Classical Review
