Reaction

Stanford University Professor of East Asian Languages Chaofen Sun was reported to have called Rhea's songs "beautiful and moving" while dubbing Rhea a "musical emissary between the Chinese and American peoples". Williams College Professor of Chinese and Asian Studies Cornelius Kubler reportedly said that the songs "possess considerable pedagogical value" while remarking that Rhea sang "very clearly and with excellent standard Mandarin pronunciation".[2]
