Editorial Reviews
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...
Q (12/01/1994)
...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...
Vibe (02/01/1995)
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...
Rolling Stone (12/01/1994)
