The performance was praised for its technical precision, emotional depth, and historical accuracy. In addition to their performances, Ensemble La Flora has also received a number of awards and accolades for their work. In 2012, the ensemble was awarded the prestigious Gramophone Award for their recording of Bach's "Goldberg Variations." The recording was praised for its "clarity, precision, and emotional depth," and was hailed as one of the best recordings of the year.
