“Joffrey Ballet's breathtaking performance of "Crossed," a work of sacred and profane beauty created this past spring by Jessica Lang, the immensely talented young choreographer and set designer. "Crossed" is a sublime addition to Joffrey's rep.”

- Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times, May 03, 2010
“...But young choreographer Jessica Lang's world premiere, "Crossed," is the showstopper. Standing ovations are critics' least-favorite part of any show, so freely proffered and so rarely earned. Here, the critics led the charge out of the seats.”

- Sid Smith, The Chicago Tribune, April 30, 2010
“Choreographer Jessica Lang creates one of the most stunning new ballets seen in years, on any stage. Lang will be one the 21st centuries most influential dance artists. Her work will withstand the test of time and the sooner that she has her own company, the better for dance and all those who love it.”
