Does anyone know if there has been made an Anglican Critique/Criticism/Response to Ratzinger's "The Spirit of the Liturgy"?

Andrew Burnham's Heaven & Earth in Little Space (2010) might be of interest.

The extent to which Monsignor Burnham's perspective could be described as Anglican is a little bit questionable- particularly in a book written in 2010, given that he had already announced in 2008 that he intended to join the RCC and resigned as a bishop in November 2010.

Granted, he was only actually received on 1 January 2011, so technically speaking he was still Anglican when he wrote it... But it would be fair to say that Mgr Burnham's thought was probably not coming from the mainstream of Anglicanism at the time he wrote the book.

This is no criticism of the quality of the book or Mgr B's thinking in general, by the way! I haven't read it yet, but it looks rather interesting and I might have a look at it imminently.
