Let it be

"Sometimes, artists stay true to the original version. Other artists, take the song in a new and totally unexpected directions. It becomes something of a magical mystery tour, as a familiar song takes on new life life and meaning. This can be through a change in style or tempo. Occasionally, a song is deconstructed and then reconstructed. However, regardless of whether an artist stays true to the original, or reworks a Beatles classic, each of the song on Let It Be-Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney and Harrison works, and works well. That's why Let It Be-Black America Sings Lennon, McCartney and Harrison is, without doubt, one of the finest compilations of covers from The Beatles' songbook, and for anyone with even a passing interest in soul or the Fab Four's music, will be essential listening and a welcome addition to their music library".

"Let It Be i en 6-disc-deluxe edition, lækkert lavet med tilhørende 100-siders bog (...) Det lyder som noget af en mundfuld, ikke mindst i betragtning af, at den oprindelige udgave, der udsendtes som lp i maj 1970, bestod af 12 numre, hvoraf to var skitser på under et minut. Så hvad får lytteren for pengene? Jo, tonsvis af ekstramateriale af svingende kvalitet, men også mange fine ting, bestemt. Dog henvender det sig primært til connaisseuren, selvom enhver med den mindste interesse for sagen vil finde det morsomt at høre. I hvert fald en enkelt gang ... musikken lyder strålende".
