Frazin’s new work, An Unexpected Encounter, is a modest piece, a kind of rolling, sighing adagio indebted to Barber in its elegiac mood and in its chosen sound world. The Criers, as they have dubbed themselves, gave the work a well-prepared and lucid reading.
— Jeremy Eichler, The Boston Globe
The piece was well-crafted, reminding one of Pärt in its ritualistic repetitions and evolving diatonicism.
— Classical Voice of New England
