"With slick packaging and boasting superior sound, "Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection" is a must have for fans of John Williams and these movies. While we might wish for every second of music Williams composed, in sound quality and music quality and price this collection is currently without equal. It is highly recommended." - Full review at SoundtrackNet |

"The greatest treasure in this TEMPLE is the scoring that comprises Indy and company’s escape from the Thugee mines, nearly all of which was omitted from the original Polydor soundtrack that hit at the dawn of CD’s. “Short Round Escapes” to a perilous, heroically growing theme that finally breaks TEMPLE’s unbearable tension. “Saving Willie” ingeniously combines Indian percussion with orchestral peril before Indy gets his thematic soul back. “Short Round Helps” reveals itself as one of the best pieces that Williams wrote for the entire series, as the composer’s new TEMPLE themes heroically combine before making a full statement of the “Raider’s March.” - Full review at Film Music Magazine |

"The albums presented here stick close to Williams’ original intentions, retaining his original album edits and thus vividly tell a story through music and with bags of colour and wit. What the additional cues do is simply augment that story a little further and while these score presentations are by no means complete I think it’s enough to keep fans satisfied; what remains on the cutting room floor is surely only filler anyway." - Read the full review
