Allmusic gave the album a five-star rating (of a possible five).[3] Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote that "the scope of this music is, quite simply, breathtaking — not only was Coltrane developing at a rapid speed, but the resulting music encompasses nearly every element that made him a brilliant musician, and it is beautiful."[3] Disc 7 (outtakes) 1-7 - “Giant Steps” 8-12 – “Naima” 13-20 – “Like Sonny” 21-22 – “Giant Steps” 23-24 – “Blues to Elvin” 25 – “Blues to You” [edit] Personnel Recorded between January 15, 1959 and May 25, 1961 in New York City.
