While popular among educationalists, Gardner's theory has been much criticized by psychologists and psychometricians.

The musicologist Charles Warren claimed that the proportional structure of the motet mimicked the proportions of Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral for whose consecration it was composed. However, David Fallows, Charles Turner, and others subsequently cast doubt on Warren's figures. Following these critiques, Craig Wright published a compelling refutation, demonstrating that Warren's analysis "does violence to the architecture of the church", and that the "unique ratio 6:4:2:3, which governs Dufay's motet, is... in no way immanent, or even superficially apparent, in the design of the cathedral of Florence". Instead, he concludes that Dufay's inspiration was the biblical passage 1 Kings 6:1–20, which gives the dimensions of the Temple of Solomon as 60 x 40 x 20 x 30 cubits.
