Q (3/01, p.116) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Each side of the man is represented....proving that 'quality' Louis doesn't start and finish with those oft-lauded Hot Fives or Hot Sevens periods..."

Although you can't really assemble the ultimate Armstrong collection if you don't have the rights to the Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of the late 1920s, there's plenty of Louis Armstrong here, creatively assembled and covering the span of his lengthy and immeasurably influential career. Disc One begins with recordings cut with various leaders, including Fletcher Henderson. It then jumps from 1927 to 1935, when Armstrong was already well established as the leader of his own orchestra, which varied in size from record date to record date. There are also scattered cuts involving the Mills Brothers, Bing Crosby and the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra.

Disc Two includes material from 1949 through 1951, including numerous small group sessions with musicians like Sidney Bechet and Zutty Singleton, a vocal duet with Louis Jordan on "You Rascal, You" and, from 1950 and '51, Louis Armstrong And The All Stars, featuring Barney Bigard, Earl Hines, Arvell Shaw, and Cozy Cole. Disc Three wraps things up with "Hello Dolly" and "What a Wonderful World," but not before offering more All Stars, some orchestral numbers, and a couple of cuts with Oscar Peterson's quartet.
