It's about time!, July 12, 2000
This is the best Armstrong album ever! One of the things that sets it apart is the music. The backbone of this album is made up of traditional jazz numbers, not the pop songs that show up on so many of his albums. It's a shame that Armstrong is much more known for the latter. Furthermore, the enthusiastic European crowds inspired the band to play it's best. Clearly everybody is having a good time. I can't understand why it took so long for this album to be reissued.

Satchmo in lively concerts around the world..., July 5, 2000
Louis Armstrong was at his peak on these spectacular live recordings around the world, reminiscent of his earlier hot five and seven recordings, this is some fine Satchmo playing and singing. The audience is estatic throughout, showing no matter what country he was in, everybody loved ol' Satchmo, and you will too after listening to these essential Louis Armstrong sides.

Most exciting sounds of Satch,with a great group lineup. ., September 18, 2000
I wore this LP out twice as a youngster...This is my favorite Satchmo recording...And I believe I've heard/purchased most all the available Armstrong recordings from his beginnings... Barret Deems on drums, Billy "Crazy Otto" Kyle on piano, Edmond Hall on clarinet,-all outstanding...This is the hot stuff!! And the crowds love it...I'm so pleased that it is now available on CD... Don Gibson.(Mr. Skins)..
