    Gay’s latest is a deep dive into memory but emerges as a triumphant celebration of a past and future antilineage, uniquely conjured from the inner complexities of an artist not tortured by the past but possessed by it. [Dec 2021, p.50]

    Gay more than succeeds in weaving all of these seemingly disparate sounds together, and Open Arms to Open Us has the engaging feeling of walking through a kaleidoscopic multimedia art installation.

    The whole of Open Arms is much larger than the sum of its parts. [Jan 2022, p.89]

    Open Arms to Open Us is adventure writ large, a rhythmical hymn to boundless possibility.
