Down Beat (3/98, p.65) - 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...a single disc...that offers a representative cross-section of the five-disc set and does so in an entertainingly educational fashion..."
JazzTimes (3/96, p.85) - "...astonishing....blues legends...all at the top of their game....A must for blues collectors."
Living Blues (3-4/96, pp.84-85) - "...The sound quality of this collection is excellent, as is the documentation of the festival in the accompanying booklet. With AMERICAN FOLK BLUES FESTIVAL 1962-1965, Evidence has compiled a beautiful and timeless anthology."
Sing Out! (4-5-6/96, p.144) - "...an age when blues giants still walked the earth....There is way too much great music here to discuss it in detail. Suffice it to say that this set is as good as one would expect."
