“In ‘Love Letter’, Dacey could have hardly have found a more fitting or timely text that that of Edna St. Vincent Millay. Nor could she have developed a more fascinating musical way to set this text to intrigue and bring along her listeners..Dacey’s harmonies make intuitive sense, as do certain musical repetitions, ending with a most effective focus on a single voice”
