"The music is well performed, as Clapton & co. recreate the often elaborate arrangements of Harrison's music, using multiple guitarists, keyboardists, and percussionists, backed by an orchestra. The stage band is a who's who of Harrison's peers, including his Beatle bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, among others".

"Reissued in a plethora of formats to celebrate what would have been Harrison's 75th birthday, Concert For George could very easily have gone the way of most tribute concerts and been a worthy, slightly dull affair. Instead, a winningly diverse programme survives a plodding start to catch fire and really do justice to the Beatle most likely to turn up at your house with a carrier bag full of plant cuttings".

"Når det kommer til de levende billeder, er der næsten fem timers koncert og bonusmateriale at kaste sig over. Det er voldsomt for alle andre end de største fans og dem, der går op i, hvordan rockstjerner så ud engang. Langt mere vedkommende er det at sætte musikken i cd-afspilleren eller på pladespilleren. Herefter kan man gøre sig til dommer over, hvordan de forskellige gæstevokalister klarer sig i selskab med Harrisons sange som solist og i The Beatles og Traveling Wilburys. Det er hård kost at høre Eric Clapton råbe sig igennem "Wah Wah", mens Jeff Lynne fra E. L. O. og Traveling Wilburys lyder som en skoledreng på "I Want To Tell You". Gary Brooker fra Procol Harum slipper hæderligt fra "Old Brown Shoe", der løftes af et af pladens mest medrivende arrangementer, mens Tom Pettys karakteristiske sangforedrag passer o.k. til "Taxman" ... "My Sweet Lord" (...) løfter Billy Preston sammen med et kor ganske vellykket ind i et kirkerum".
