don't do it!: Unless you are incredibly terrible with languages do not waste your money on this. It will not teach you anything very useful. You end up learning about 20 very basic phrases that are not so flexible in various situations. I recommend borrowing it from the library as a first step, to get used to danish pronunciation and purchase Bente Elsworth's Teach Yourself Danish.
Learn Danish in the car!: I bought this CD set because I am going to Denmark soon, and I wanted to be able to at least ask where the bathroom was.... :) My mom (who is a Danish national) said that my pronunciation is great - I guess that's because I have listened to each lesson at least twice... so far anyway... It helps to have her, so I can see how her mouth is formed during words, because SOME of the Danish words I couldn't quite make out - that's why I only gave it 4 stars... well, that and the fact that people were looking at me crazy when I was sitting at traffic lights, repeating phrases... ;)
Great intro to Danish, wish there were a longer version too: This was my first Pimsleur course. It is remarkable how well it teaches you a spoken language - all of which you can do in your car. Because they are constantly asking you how to put together words and phrases that you know, they reinforce what you have learned and force you to invent new combinations. Very effective. Unfortunately there isn't a longer version of this available. It is just 10 lessons.
