"'Treasures' is a bewitching 2CD trove of Danish radio broadcasts capturing Evans in a range of settings; the most interesting is a glorious seven-part orchestral suite where his trio is augmented by the Royal Danish Symphony Orchestra, producing a richly detailed cinematic score. The icing on the cake is provided by a thick accompanying booklet with copious notes and illuminating interviews"

"While the earlier trio work here is good and the latter is great, the more tantalizing Treasures sessions are those with the Royal Danish Symphony Orchestra and the Danish Radio Big Band, and those that feature Evans alone ... Mikkelborg's arrangements hold interest, sprinkling modernist dissonance in with the lush cinematic swoon. In this arrangement, the perfectly melodic "Waltz for Debby" sounds like something out of a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, while "Time Remembered" has a gorgeous, low-lit ambiance. Evans was experimenting with orchestra periodically in the late '60s (...) and Mikkelborg's sympathetic backing gives a good sense of how his harmonic approach translates in such a setting ... Treasures is kind of like four mini-albums in one: You get a taste of Evans in a pickup trio, another with him and one of his most reliable collaborators, a suite for orchestra, and then an excellent solo set ... Both the sound quality and the overall package are excellent, reinforcing the idea that this is important music that demands to be preserved properly"

"The first eight tracks, from 1965 and in a trio setting with either Alan Dawson or Alex Riel in the drum seat, don't disappoint; they are simply a joy to listen to, with Evans' touch as light as a feather, his mood upbeat, confident - almost playful - and his playing ingenious, bringing freshness to even the most familiar tunes. NHØP and the two drummers each swing beautifully behind him, making these two of the most satisfying Evans trios I have ever heard ... Interestingly, there's an emphasis throughout this double set on Evans' own compositions, which might be a reflection of his confidence during this period. Top-notch music then, and the superb sound quality and excellent packaging and booklet make this a must-buy"
