john kelman of allaboutjazz was again complementary regarding this particular set and commented that "a perfect summary to heaven & earth, the king crimson box set that squeezes the most material onto any of the group's mega-box set, covers the longest time period and documents crimson's most extensive period of experimentation, exploration and evolution through its inclusion of (almost) all projekct recordings through crimson's brief 2008 return, alongside the best-sounding versions of the (re)construkction of light and the power to believe."
