Reviews:

"Outstanding compilations, sophisticated scholarship" (The Wire, 08/2008)

"It's easy to think you've already heard the full Factory story, but this disc highlights a chapter in the label's history that's often overlooked" (Boomkat, 06/2009)

"True Faith by New Order opens with a magic moment of indie-dance. Next to expected Factory heroes ACR, DC, SXXV and Happy Mondays manifesto 24 Hour Party People you'll find eternal Factory stepchildren the Wake. Not to forget a Rai-hit by Fadela. An extremely exciting journey" (Westzeit, 07/2010)

"Tasteful selection, great compilation" (The Big Takeover, 09/2010)
