Scott Yanow addressed each of the volumes individually, but assigned them all three stars.[4] He noted, "The entire series is worth picking up by listeners who enjoy bop-based piano"[5] and praised the music while criticizing the length of the album.[1][6] Richard Cook in The Penguin Guide to Jazz sharply criticized the number of volumes, claiming "Volume 5 is probably a disc too far."[3]
