Entertainment Weekly (12/1/00, p.100) - "...These songs are so durable, and the differences between these and preexistent versions so irresistible...that before long you've fallen under their spell once more..." - Rating: B+

Q (12/00, p.143) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Fine and dandy....these are all-weather pop songs, full of flash but never outstaying their welcome..."

Q (11/00, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The kind of thing that completists would pawn the wife's jewellery for....much more than just a bunch of out-takes....Out of this world."

Uncut (10/00, p.82) - 5 stars out of 5 - "...One is left reeling by the sheer quantity of ground-breaking stuff packed into so brief a time. The best of this music is pure incandescence, and no one wanting to get the measure of Jimi Hendrix should be without it..."

Mojo (Publisher) (10/00, pp.116-7) - "...For anyone interested in Hendrix and the '60s...it is mandatory....Mutable, fiery, expansive, Hendrix rarely played anything the same way twice..."
