- "[I]t is beautifully filmed and excellently recorded; one would have to be a dullard indeed to resist the loping rhythms and soulful spirits of this basically irresistible music. Marley's spirit in particular is evident throughout, from widow Rita Marley and the I-Threes' pulsating rendition of "Buffalo Soldier" to the politically oriented "Conscious Party" by son Ziggy Marley and his band, the Melody Makers. There's also the kinetic presence of Bunny Wailer on "Rise and Shine" and his celebration of the Jamaican pulse, "Root Radics.""
