Ranked #4 in Mojo's "Best 10 Box Sets & Compilations of 2001"., 4 stars out of 5 - "...Conjures McCulloch's insolent good looks and the band's more willful inclinations....giving a chance to view their music in relief free of grand, heroically absurdist gestures...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Very fine indeed.....What's startling about spinning back to the band's beginnings at the dawn of the Eighties is how strong they became in how short a time...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...A completist's compilation...featuring lost of unreleased songs...suggesting that Echo's songwriting produced some contemporary standards....Echo's crystal days haven't shattered yet..."
