    Shine A Light balances the hamminess with proper rock 'n' roll. [May 2008, p.132]

  2. Rolling Stone
    80
    It documents the Stones on a historic roll, reveling in their mastery.
  3. Mojo
    60
    As feisty good-time rock goes, the Stones get good and gone and its worth every penny for the duet with Buddy Guy on Muddy Waters' 'Champagne and Reffer' alone. [May 2008, p.103]
