  1. AllMusic
    60
    To a large extent, the music on Shine a Light confirms this to be true, proving that the band retains a remarkable alchemy that has deepened over the years.
  2. The Guardian
    60
    Songs from dustier corners of their back catalogue and guest appearances from Jack White , Buddy Guy and Christina Aguilera pique the interest but don't dispel a sense of overkill.
  3. Uncut
    60
    Less is more, and the Stones are at their best on the spoof country of Faraway Eyes; and Richards’ attack on You Got The Silver, with Ronnie Wood picking holes in an acoustic slide guitar.
  5. 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]
