"To date, there have been two releases of music from the AIDS-Quilt Songbook, a compilation conceived by the later baritone William Parker. The first, on Harmonia Mundi, takes the crown, thanks to Parker's greater involvement, although the second, on innova, is actually a more varied recording, per se. Both remain urgently recommended, for all kinds of reasons . . . [Heartbeats] constitutes a gripping and powerful musical and emotional experience."
- John Lambert, Fanfare
"... repeated listenings reveal more and more of the pieces' beauty.... The power of this material and, ultimately, the CD itself is similar to the effect of the AIDS Memorial Quilt: [the] remembrance of the joy of life, of the people who come into our lives and then leave, and the release of sadness and pain."
- Sharon Smith, LA Reader
