"Unlike Dark Side of the Moon and everything after, there is no sense of polish to the music on The Early Years 1965-1972, but there is a great sense of adventure. Because so much of this music is raw - it's alternately live, unfinished, and improvisatory - the box underscores how Pink Floyd were an underground band right up until Dark Side. Decades later, these recordings still feel boundless: this was music made without a destination in mind and the journey remains thrilling"

"Den nye opsamling med Pink Floyd (...) består af det legendariske bands' musik før det helt store gennembrud ... Samlet set dokumenterer opsamlingen, at den britiske gruppe turde eksperimentere. Det gjorde andre også, men Pink Floyd formåede at gøre disse syrede konstruktioner til et afsæt for de fantastiske lp'er, som udkom i 1970'erne. Disse album vil altid være den mest ideelle måde at opleve Pink Floyd på"
