"...a fascinating record of the evolution of a black musical style, and the tangled motives of the white men who had an instinct for it."--Robert Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. "A satisfying combination of great songs and strong dramatic performances."--San Francisco Chronicle. "Cadillac Records may be a mess dramatically, but it's a wonderful mess, and not just because of the great music."--Wall Street Journal.
