"...You get the sense that Cash could just as easily be in the audience as on stage at this raucous show, and the inmates know it..."Q - 4/00, p.106
4 stars out of 5 - "...represents Cash at the peak of his powers, bringing a highly combustible mixture of joy and pain to 2000 excitable inmates....Any more real and full body armor would have had to be supplied."Uncut - p.66
"'Folsom Prison Blues' is the inevitable lead-off of this spirited live album, which freights a joyful vim at odds with its surroundings."Uncut - 3/00, p.74
4 stars out of 5 - "...It's an effortless and powerful performance....Touching..."CMJ - 11/1/99, pp.24-5
"...finally receiving a proper...reissue....Restored is Cash's salty stage-banter in all of its uncensored glory, alongside every one of the crowd's raucous, foot-stomping, hollering responses....repeatedly delivers the kind of goosebumps that few records can."Dirty Linen - p.46
"Backed by the Tennessee Three, rockabilly guitarist Carl Perkins, and vocal group the Statler Brothers, the 'Man in Black' delivered a passionate mix of unsweetened folk balladry, honky tonk, blues and country gospel."Dirty Linen - 2-3/00, pp.63,65
