"Though regularly performed during the composers lifetime and for long afterwards, this piece fell from favour when 19th-century prurience objected to its mildly erotic text. No such reservations need apply today, and its ravishing and melodious numbers such as the duet Arise, my fair, the doors unfold, should command a popularity no less undimmed than the composers tuneful Eight Symphonys."
