"The Royal Sessions makes clear just how much Rodgers learned from classic soul -- there are phrasings and runs reminiscent of songs he cut with both Free and Bad Company -- but the lighter setting shines a different light on these comfortable moves, making them fresher while also illustrating his debt to this style. Most of all, The Royal Sessions is enjoyable: it sounds like Rodgers is having a good time, so it's easy to have a good time too".

"The influence that songs recorded at Royal had on a young Rodgers was immeasurable, and the chance to record with some of the players who lent their names to golden Memphis glory was his R&B fantasy come through ... A full-circle personal musical revival set to vintage analog grease. 'The Royal Sessions' sees Paul Rodgers replenishing his soul from the well from which it was born".
