"RILM Music Encyclopedias provides a valuable online reference resource with a simple and visually appealing design. Its broad array of subjects include many niche titles that might not be covered in smaller physical reference collections, and its content is particularly useful for research in ethnomusicology and American popular music."

Sara Outhier, Performing Arts and Humanities Librarian at the University of Kansas; quoted from Music Reference Services Quarterly 24, no. 3 (2021): 133–135.

"The benefits of RME include its broad range of international content, the number of titles included (and RILM's commitment to building the content) and the ability to search across the full text of the encyclopaedias included."

Laurie J. Sampsel, Head of the Music Library at the University of Colorado at Boulder; quoted from Nineteenth-Century Music Review 15, no. 1 (April 2018): 149–159.

"The content runs the gamut from the well-know and indispensable...to the esoteric...to the novel...and users will find several exceptional specialist resources within."

Stephen Henry, Head of the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library, University of Maryland; quoted from Notes: Quarterly Journal of the Music Library Association 72, no. 1 (September 2016): 149–153.

"A particular strength of RILM Music Encyclopedias is its ability to provide access to some excellent European resources that might not otherwise be available to libraries with less than comprehensive collections."
