    An Introduction to Elliott Smith constitutes a worthy glimpse and gateway into a discography that has enchanted so many over the years. There are 14 songs here; 14 finer you'll seldom hear.

    In the end, there's more questions than answers found, and if all of the music on Introduction is unimpeachable, its slightly haphazard execution is a bit of a letdown. [Fall 2010, p.70]

    An Introduction to Elliott Smith [is] a compilation that maybe would have made some sense in 1998 but has no place in 2010.
