| Editorial reviews | |
| Ranked #6 in the Village Voice's list of the 10 Best Reissues Of 1992. Village Voice (03/02/1993) ...What's most striking about this chronology is not Mr. B.B.'s longevity or output, but his growth and consistency, moving easily through soul, funk, rock and jazz without compromising the essential core truth in his blues, remaining contemporary from generation to generation... Musician (01/01/1993) ...a near perfect collection...The best work of a legendary artist, respectfully distilled into one lengthy, joyous listening experience...Absolutely first-rate... - Rating: A Entertainment Weekly (12/11/1992) 4 Stars - Excellent - ...It's all here--the entire life's work of the music's foremost ambassador, a man who, while he may not appear as driven as the great stylists of the post-War blues boom, is nonetheless its foremost gentleman and player... Q (01/01/1993) ...does striking justice to King's remarkable royal tenure...sound quality is stunning throughout the entire box, spotlighting every nuance of King's remarkable guitar technique and patented crying vocal style...
