Writing for Music Web International, Margarida Mota-Bull wrote: "for the first time, I felt differently towards this Symphony and this is entirely due to Herreweghe's, and  the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées's credit...there was a light at the end of the tunnel, a triumph over adversity, which I believe was an interpretation very close to the composer’s intentions...this interpretation of the "Scottish" by Philippe Herreweghe and the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées was truly wonderful and arguably, one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing."
