"The filmmakers spent three years with the All Stars. The story they tell, and tell well, is how the All Stars' songs... first raise their own spirits, then those of their neighbors, then... other camps too. The story told here is simple, and ultimately triumphant." -- Daniel M. Gold, The New York Times
"It's as easy to fall in love with these guys as it was with the Buena Vista Social Club." -- Vanessa Juarez, Newsweek
"Roots reggae rhythms blessed with finger-picked guitar is at the core: Fans of the early Wailers will be as beguiled as Afro-popsters. Underlying it all is a plea for peace from voices heartbreakingly familiar with the consequences of the alternative." -- Nate Dow, Boston Herald
