"Looking at 'Breaking Dawn' in terms of lyrics, composition, background music, rhythm, atmosphere, and emotional arousal, it is almost an impeccable song. Xian Yu's career is still very long, but so far, this song should be considered Xian Yu's masterpiece."
— Qin Continent Vanguard
"The beauty of logical rational text, the touching beauty of emotional text, two styles that seem to be opposed to each other, both appear in the hands of the same creator. This is 'Breaking Dawn', a song that startled the industry, declaring Xian Yu to have created a new genre of neoclassical music and a song that fans of ancient style call the ceiling of ancient style songs."
— Qi Continent Pop
"The whole song is imbued with the style of the pipa (a Chinese lute), crying and lamenting. Xian Yu's easy grasp of classical music makes people realise more and more that his success is no fluke."
