Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - p.92
5 stars out of 5 - "[H]e defined a dramatic sound in which terse horn phrases, an infallible rhythm section and Steve Cropper's spindly guitar lines accentuated the inexorable force of his vocals."
Q - 7/93, p.111
4 Stars - Excellent - "...sassy, driving, a horn section pounding away, testifying, mesmerising. It's all here..."
