Leading rabbis praised the quality and sanctity of these Siddurim. The Chasam Sofer wrote about them: "דברי הגאון ז"ל המה קילורין לעינים ומרפא לנפש, ולשונו צח ונקי, ירווה צמאונו כל ההוגה בו בעתות הפנאי" (Likutei Shut Chatam Sofer, London 1965, Siman 3) and תמצא שם כי דבר גדול מאד דיבר הנביא ז"ל בענין זה הלא ישתוממו רואיו" (Shut Chatam Sofer section VI, 59).
The Baal Shem Tov said of the the Yavetz: "הגם שאינו חסיד, אך הוא דבוק כל הזמן בשלש ראשונות" and told Rabbi Ephraim, the Yavetz’ brother: "אחיך היעב"ץ כל היום דבוק בעולמות העליונים"
The Admor the author of the Yeshu’ot Moshe of Vizhnitz wrote in his approbation of the Eshkol edition of the Siddur: "סדור תפלה זה לא ירד משולחנם של רבוה"ק ואבוה"ק זי"ע אשר השתמשו בו בכל עת מצוא, ובמיוחד בעת עריכת הסדר הק’ בליל פסח".
