"Hoover [Sypert], who has been praised for 'a beautifully warm middle range,' made a stunning impression in Arnold Schoenberg’s 'Pierrot Lunaire' last October..." - Steven Mark, Honolulu Star-Advertiser

"Delibe's 'Flower Duet' from Lakme was one of the evening's highlights. [Sumi] Jo's and Hoover's [Sypert’s] voices matched perfectly, of similar weight and different but compatible timbres, one brighter, the other darker. Their voices allowed each line to remain distinct while melding into perfectly balanced harmony - truly outstanding." -Ruth Bingham, Honolulu Star-Advertiser

"Maya Hoover [Sypert] …provided professional support of vocal beauty of the highest technical caliber..."  -Édgar Valcárcel, La Industria, Trujillo, Peru (Mozart Requiem)

"The sultry side of Hoover’s [Sypert’s] creamy mezzo was put to good use in her recital-opening 'Habanera' from Bizet’s Carmen … Even more appealing was her vocal flare and flamenco abandon in Fernando Obradors’ art song 'El vito.’” - Ken Herman, SanDiegoStory.com
