In review for AllMusic Lindsay Planer wrote: "The 16 CDs in this compendium represent nearly everything that John Coltrane recorded for the Prestige label during a 32-month period between May 7, 1956, and December 26, 1958... Accompanying the music is a 32-page liner notes booklet. Inside are a historical essay from Doug Ramsey, a session-by-session breakdown by Carl Woideck..., and several different cross-references of the contents. Overall, the audio quality is excellent throughout, especially considering that the original tapes were transferred during the infancy of digital audio technology."[1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented: "The boxed set offers the most comprehensive and, for most listeners, exhaustive documentation of Trane's time with the label... It reveals the saxophonist still in larval stage and not yet the compellingly beautiful imago of the Atlantic years."[2]
