Check out this review at All About Jazz by C. Michael Bailey.

D.R.L. offered a nice summary at Amazon:
~ "The Complete February 1957 Jimmy Smith Blue Note Sessions" is an incredible snapshot of three days in the life of Jimmy Smith: 11, 12, and 13 February 1957. In those three days, Jimmy and his colleagues recorded enough excellent music to provide Blue Note with five albums: "A Date With Jimmy Smith Volume 1 [BLP 1547]", "A Date With Jimmy Smith Volume 2 [BLP 1548]", "Jimmy Smith at the Organ Volume 1 [BLP 1551]", "Jimmy Smith at the Organ Volume 2 [BLP 1552]", and "The Sounds of Jimmy Smith [BLP 1556]". All of that material on those albums plus several previously unreleased tracks are included on three full CDs in this Mosaic box set.
~ For the three-day marathon recording session, Jimmy is joined by his working group of guitar + drummer plus several guests:
~ Jimmy Smith (org), Donald Byrd (trmpt), Lou Donaldson (as), Hank Mobley (ts), Eddie McFadden (g), Art Blakey (d)

~ The music in this collection serves as a bridge between the hard bop of Jimmy's earlier recordings and the soul jazz of the classic recordings he made for Blue Note in the early 1960's. Perhaps the most unique feature of the music in this box set is the solo tracks by Jimmy, which are experimental and eclectic in that they contain snatches of classical music. These two tracks are unlike anything you will hear elsewhere in the Jimmy Smith catalog. The duets with Art Blakey and with Lou Donaldson are also unique treasures.
