Q - 10/95, p.136

Uncut - 2/03, p.91
4 stars out of 5 - "...Stormy jazz from the height of the New Thing..."
The Wire - 12/02, pp.51-3
"...A LOVE SUPREME is marvellously self-contained....The dignity of A LOVE SUPREME has not been compromised and it has never sounded better on CD..."
Down Beat - 4/8/65
5 Stars - Excellent - "...Coltrane's artistry is evident in his never permitting tension to overcome its counterpoise, release....[A LOVE SUPREME] is a significant album, because Coltrane has brought together the promising but underdeveloped aspects of his previous work; has shorn, compressed, extended and tamed them; and has emerged a greater artist for it...."
Down Beat - 11/95, p.73
5 Stars - Excellent - "With the power of prayer fueling its invention, half the universe's choice for desert-island disc still sounds novel....Trane's rolling discourse managed to be simultaneously menacing and sublime..."
Vibe - 12/99, p.160
Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century
Mojo (Publisher) - 1/03, p.106
"...A LOVE SUPREME remains a remarkable, challenging listen...It's the definitive version of a definitive moment..."
NME (Magazine) - 10/2/93, p.29
Ranked #36 in NME's list of the 'Greatest Albums Of All Time.'
Pitchfork (Website) - "A LOVE SUPREME, recorded with what was later called his classic quartet, is Coltrane's musical expression of his 1957 epiphany. It's the sound of a man laying his soul bare."
