"Naxos Music Library is one of the best examples of what can result when Internet Technology is imaginatively blended with high-quality digital content. With a broadband connection and the near-CD quality option selected, the audio quality of the Naxos Music Library is excellent, at least by Internet standards.
Although reviewed only days after its release, Naxos Music Library is already one of the most impressive products we have seen. It is a much better classical music collection, in breadth of coverage and performance quality, than most libraries could ever afford to assemble and manage, and it is growing (and diversifying) at an impressive rate. The Naxos Music Library is an exceptionally well-realized product that most libraries would be thrilled to offer and listeners fortunate to experience.
Naxos recordings figure prominently among the annual best-of-the-year lists, and over 650 Naxos CDs have been awarded three stars by the authoritative Penguin Guide to Compact Discs."

"The sound quality is obviously the best that present technology readily permits."
- Roger Thomas, Journalist
"No longer will librarians have to buy or catalog individual CDs, nor will they have to contend with stolen music. The Naxos library will potentially expose kids to a wealth of music they might never have heard."
- Meg McCaffrey, School Library Journal, "Plenty of Music, No Hassle", April 4, 2004
"This glimpse into the future that's here was prompted by coming across the Naxos Music Library, at www.naxosmusiclibrary.com, streamed from the company's Hong Kong site. It is the most comprehensive collection of classical music available online for now. A big advantage: you can read program and biographical information while listening to the music, instead of jeopardizing your sight with the tiny font used in the usually insufficient documentation included with CDs."
- Janos Gereben, San Francisco Classical Voice, “Tomorrow's Music Library Here Today", March 2, 2004
