"Best New Reissue" - "The new 50th-anniversary reissue restores the album to its ostensible original running order, appends a typically epochal live concert from the following year, and retrieves an intimate set of early demos recorded on a long night in a Calgary hotel. None of this is uninteresting and some of it is indispensable, but it's ultimately a long way around towards building up the reputation of an LP that never really needed defending ... Fifty years on Stage Fright is an oasis, an exhalation, a genial respite from the ongoing crucible of the Band's accumulating days. The final moment when the music came easy, before the weight became unmanageable.".

"This beautifully rendered boxed set includes the requisite book with excellent liner notes and period photos, but also a remixed - and resequenced - version of the original album, as well as a previously unreleased 1970 acoustic jam session from a hotel room, and best of all, a stunning and previously unreleased 1971 concert that captures the group at the peak of its live powers ... The Band would release more albums and play more concerts before the classic lineup played itself off five years later, but none as powerful as the music captured here".
