    Although the album is ostensibly live, the natural effects Galás can create in her voice places the album in an uncomfortably solitary place, as if the audience has been struck dumb, the piano close, Galás herself able to fly like a spirit to any point within the church’s space. [Apr 2017, p.53]

    Both [At Saint Thomas the Apostle Harlem and All The Way] elicit a simultaneous sense of terror and wonder as to what demons are flowing through her bloodstream and how she's managed to harness them for the power of artistic good. [No. 141, p.57]

    At Saint Thomas The Apostle Harlem proves she's become just as expressive as a pianist as she is with her bloodcurdling wails. [May 2017, p.30]
