| Professional Reviews |
| Rolling Stone (12/1/94, p.121)
- 5 Stars (out of 5)
- "...a generous compilation....lovingly remastered....[It] must be counted among the most important archival projects of the CD era. This is history that sings and soars, history with a heart full of gold..."Q (12/94, p.172)
- 4 Stars (out of 5)
- "...The arrangements are nimble, the songs lovely, the harmonies finger-clicking and the sole drawback is that almost everyone sounds like Sam Cooke..." Vibe (2/95, p.93)
- "...Sacred/profane ambiguity...animates this 56-song cycle of black artistry, which travels from the apex of '50s gospel...to the commercial expertise of '60s R&B....Cooke's own vocals and production taste convey a mellifluous genius that is still a pop measuring rod..." |
