"When a concert tribute to the venerable New Orleans musical force of nature Dr. John kicks off with a duet between the show's star attraction and Bruce Springsteen tearing into John's biggest hit "Right Place Wrong Time," the challenge is to follow that up for the next two hours. But with a musical cast consisting of luminaries from John's hometown buddies such as Cyril, Aaron and Charles Neville, John Boutte, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Anders Osborne and Irma Thomas, along with such roots notables as Mavis Staples, Widespread Panic, and Jason Isbell among others, that is merely the tip of a very large iceberg of music".

"As one of the leading lights of New Orleans music, Dr. John deserves a splashy, star-studded celebration -- which is precisely what producer Don Was assembled on May 3, 2014 at New Orleans' Saenger Theatre ... Throughout it all, Dr. John remains at the center, occupying attention even when he's offstage because it's clear that this blend of jazz, soul, R&B, rock, and pop is distinctly his".

"There is something unique about him, an ineffable quality that ultimately does not come across throughout this two-disc set. Musical director Don Was assembled a first-rate house band (...) and the big surging blues-tinged rock and R&B-flavored sound they achieve is well played, energized and highly polished, but not loose, funky and shadowy, like the doctor when his mojo is working ... Assembling this much talent to extol the wonders of Dr. John assuredly resulted in some genuine fireworks ... Ultimately, it is the man himself who truly shines here".
