Praised from the time of its release as "by far the best album of jazz recordings ever issued," it "became part of the jazz curriculum at colleges throughout the country." and over time it was a acknowledged, double platinum record.[2] [3]

This collection has been criticized for a number of shortcomings and idiosyncrasies; eastward.g., Paul de Barros, jazz critic for the Seattle Times, wrote, "Williams too favored blackness musicians over white (mutual to his critical generation), overlooked Latin, female and most hard-bop instrumentalists and, as well-nigh male person jazz critics still practice, disdained vocals."[4] However, the collection has also long been widely and highly praised in terms similar to those of Dan Morganstern of The New York Times, who in 1987 referred to it equally "past far the best available survey of the recorded history of jazz on concise form."[v]

Critic Gary Giddins posited in 1998 that these traits, its idiosyncratic nature and its esteemed stature, were two sides of a coin: "One key reason Martin Williams's epochal 1973 Smithsonian Collection of Archetype Jazz had the bear on information technology did (and went double platinum, neat for post order) is that he trusted his own eccentricity, though he would take used a, ahem, different term, like maybe disquisitional judgment."[6]

In 1987 the Smithsonian issued a revised, 7-LP, 5-CD, or v-cassette edition of the collection, accompanied by a paperback book by Williams under the same title, with the revised collection including some unlike tracks, ending with "Steppin'" past the World Saxophone Quartet. The drove was reissued equally a v-CD boxed prepare in 1997 past Sony Music Special Projects, digitally remastered and with some tracks restored to total-length.[vii] [8]

In 2011, with this collection out of print, the Smithsonian issued a new 6-CD set up Intended to have its place, called Jazz: The Smithsonian Anthology, nigh which Ben Ratliff of The New York Times wrote, "what the new anthology might make you miss the nigh is the object it has been designed to replace: The Smithsonian Collection of Classic Jazz, compiled in 1973 and revised in 1987 by the critic Martin Williams."[9] One critic opined that the 2011 anthology's selection past committee, rather than by a single person, "while admirable in principle, guarantees that The Smithsonian Anthology has no point of view."[4] Other critics had similar reactions.[7] [9]
