In the list of his five favorite recordings of 2010, Fanfare critic Patrick Rucker writes:

"After too long an absence, the splendid Uruguayan-American pianist Alberto reyes makes a welcome return to the recording studio with a two-CD Chopin set for VAI. His performances of the two mature sonatas, fourth ballade, Barcarolle and Fantasy are deeply personal, imaginative, straight from the heart, and reminiscent of the grand manner of a bygone era".
