"Rhodes explores a range of modern vocal techniques, frequently quite delicately...[her] voice offers a magical, almost elvish ambiance to roiling whorls of the rest of the ensemble."
-Nick Ostrum The Squid's Ear, February 2020
"That voice seems infinitely flexible...sounds seem to come out of nowhere."
-Brian Slattery, New Haven Independent, September 2018

-Brad Cohan, New York City Jazz Record, October 2015

"[Anthony Braxton] has found his avant-Ginger Rogers, remarkable East Coast vocalist Anne Rhodes...one of art's great male-female pairings."

-Stuart Kremsky, IAJRC Journal, September 2010
"She brings an intense presence to the music, a voice that seems to imply capacity in every vocal style from raw folk and blues to operatic coloratura, as well as a kind of alien lyricism that wouldn’t have been out of place in The Fifth Element."
-Brian Morton, Point of Departure, August, 2010
"Splendid...precise yet lively, abstract yet moving."
- François Couture, Monsieur Delire June 11, 2010

On "GTM (Syntax) 2017" performed by the Tri-Centric Vocal Ensemble:
"...the singers stretch the limits of the human voice in nearly unimaginable ways...an overwhelming achievement of composing, performance, and group improvisation. I wish we could shoot it into outer space for the aliens to hear."
-Miles Bowe, Acid Test, Feburary 2019
"...a rush, a puzzle, an submersion into mind-altering wave forms...an intoxicating listen...avant garde mastery."
-Kurt Gottshalk, The Wire, February 2019
