Review from All Music Guide (by Scott Yanow): This two-CD set brings together four complete albums from Georgie Auld's work between 1951 and 1963. The first disc combines a 1951 quintet session with Frank Rosolino and a 1959 septet devoted largely to repertoire associated with Benny Goodman. The second disc contains two 1963 quintet albums, one again featuring Rosolino and the other presenting Auld as the sole horn alongside Larry Bunker, Johnny Gray, Leroy Vinnegar and Mel Lewis. Yanow emphasizes Auld's evolution from his earlier swing influences toward a softer Lester Young-influenced sound and describes the collection as a substantial document of his later work.

Reseña de All Music Guide (por Scott Yanow): Este conjunto de dos CD reúne cuatro albumes completos correspondientes al trabajo de Georgie Auld entre 1951 y 1963. El primer disco combina una sesion de quinteto de 1951 con Frank Rosolino y un septeto de 1959 dedicado en gran medida a repertorio asociado con Benny Goodman. El segundo disco contiene dos albumes de quinteto de 1963, uno nuevamente con Rosolino y el otro con Auld como unico instrumento de viento, acompañado por Larry Bunker, Johnny Gray, Leroy Vinnegar y Mel Lewis. Yanow destaca la evolucion de Auld desde sus primeras influencias del swing hacia un sonido mas suave, influido por Lester Young, y considera la recopilacion un importante documento de su trabajo posterior.
