'a splendid coffee table book... perceptive, intelligent and totally serious.' 'as nicely rounded a book on Miles as there has been for some time. A pleasure to look at, too.', "Another book on Miles Davis? The folks behind Miles Davis: The Complete Illustrated History (Voyageur Press) have come up with two distinct angles: First, of course, there are the photographs. Also included are some big (and not so big) names to accompany different sections of the book. Among the scribes: Sonny Rollins, Bill Cosby, and Herbie Hancock. The names of writer Francis Davis and Davis biographer Ashley Kahn also grace the cover. "A smattering of rare images of the always stylish Davis from his last stretch during the 1980's and early 90's closes out what is clearly the flashiest chronicle (thus far) of the Prince of Darkness." - Downbeat, "Another book on Miles Davis?
