"Boyce demonstrates in this book the value of focusing on this particular set of musical manuscripts. [...] He makes a great contribution to our knowledge of the explicit repertoire of the Carmelites as contained in these manuscripts." (Anne Bagnall Yardley, in Speculum 85/3, July 2010, p. 644-645)
"Fr Boyce's fine study provides a fundamental assessment of Carmelite liturgy through the example of the Kraków convent. [...] Carmelite theology, spirituality, liturgy and history are presented and explained in meticulous detail." (Barbara Haggh, in Plainsong and Medieval Music 20/2, 2011, p. 211)
"This monumental book is an exemplary case study of liturgy and religious life based on the close analysis of chant books used in a particular church. (...) Carmelite Liturgy is recommended reading for church historians and musicologists alike (...)." (S. Boynton, in: Church History, vol. 81/1, March 2012, p. 175-177)
"(...) [the author's] meticulous research has revealed a treasure trove of information about, and insight into, the rich and many layered world of a local Carmelite liturgy over a long period. Fr. Boyce's book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Carmelite experience in all its diversity." (J. B. Wickstrom, in: The Medieval Review, 10.03.13)
"Through his examination of these manuscripts Boyce broadens our veiw of Carmelite liturgy as a whole while also giving us a special understanding of their Polish and Bohemian identity. (...) Addtionnally, by comparing a selection of these chants with those of the larger mendicant orders of Franciscans and Dominicans, Boyce gives us a better view of the contributions of the Carmelites to the history of chant." (Peter Loewen, in: Manuscripta, 55.2, 2011, p. 213-217)
