"The Early Years 79-81 figures as a compulsory addition to the collection of any seasoned Def Leppard follower. That said, casual listeners and newcomers will find some merit in discovering an underrated era in the band's history, providing a more comprehensive outlook on the outfit's career beyond the stratospheric, and well-documented, heights of Pyromania and Hysteria".

"The Early Years 79-81 set captures Def Leppard as they burst onto the scene and quickly refined their sound into something millions of people couldn't get enough of. Along with new remasters of their first two albums, 1980's On Through the Night and 1981's High 'n' Dry, there's a disc of rarities and single mixes, a previously unreleased live set from 1980, and a collection of radio recordings, both from sessions and live shows ... One might question the need for another reissue of the first two albums so soon, but the package put together around them is interesting enough historically, and it's definitely worth it to true Def Lep devotees".
