Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (8/5/99, p.66)
- 3 1/2 stars (out of 5)
- "...rises above your standard grab-bag tribute-album fare by evoking his spirit as well as his songs..."

Entertainment Weekly (7/23/99, p.67)
- "...a mostly well-chosen lineup of sympathetic performers...turning in strong interpretations....MORE taps into the spirit of OAR - no easy feat..." - Rating: B

The Wire (9/99, p.56)
- "...may be the first tribute album where virtually every track is an improvement on the original in terms of coherence, at least, but also in terms of subtlety and grace..."

NME (Magazine)
(8/14/99, p.33)
- 7 out of 10 - "...[an] inspired an unusually good tribute album....there's a sense that the quality of the songs is being celebrated rather than the myth of the man..."
