"It is one of those rare records that truly captures a moment; not just of Franklin’s singing, playing and writing, but of the electrifying support of the FAME studios session players. [...] Often copied, yet never equalled, these 10 tracks represent Aretha Franklin’s coronation as the Queen of Soul."
- BBC Music
