L. E. Cantrell wrote in a review at Amazon.com: "Excellent historical Gilbert and Sullivan … Source: The first [electrical] recordings of 'The Pirates of Penzance' (recorded February-May 1929) and 'HMS Pinafore' (recorded February-June 1930). The original issues were on 78s. … Considering the great age of the performances, the sound is generally amazingly good."
