"It's been 60 years since Charles made these recordings, yet there's no dust on them. They still sound as lively and as mischievous, as ingenious and as innovative, as wild and as sophisticated as ever".

"Missing from this set are his two duet albums with Milt Jackson and the live Ray Charles at Newport, great records whose absence isn't necessarily noted because the seven LPs here are all excellent (...). Better still, the remastering of the mono by John Webber contains real punch, clarity, and grit, so this is a fine way to listen to some of the best music of the 20th century".

"... the fragmentary assemblage of these albums makes for a discographical and sound nightmare, yet the transfers do a great job at matching levels and the sound is consistently good from album to album ... Rounding out this beautiful package is a 30-page booklet featuring period photos and an essay by Charles biographer David Ritz. If this pattern of excellence continues, there's no telling what is in store. I for one would love to see Mingus and Aretha get the next nod in the mono series!".
