"While there have been many British blues anthologies, the vast majority tend to be single-label projects rather than scene-wide curatorial efforts. This three-disc, 56-track box is the first attempt at a comprehensive overview ... The set is adorned with copious, authoritative liner notes by compilation producer David Wells, and contains wonderful photos and brilliant sound. Crawling Up a Hill is essentially the definitive British blues compilation. Its amazing cross-licensing and skillful presentation leave very little out, yet covers all major and most minor artists on the scene with careful attention paid to stylistic variation".

"More important than who is actually included here, though, is the sheer diversity of the music that we categorize as British blues; the fact that there's nary a dull moment across all three discs... barely a single band that doesn't make its own individual mark on your ears. In fact, you don't even have to like the blues to enjoy this collection; A hearty love of excellent music will suffice".
