As music and cultural critic Stanley Crouch says, "You only have to hear her once. No one sounds like her except her."

Los Angeles Times
I wish the film included even more of [Nina] Simone's music. The interviews are all first-rate and thorough, even as the interviewees, like [Andrew] Stroud and [Al] Schackman, seem to have opposing viewpoints.

Rating: 3/4 --
It may not answer What Happened, Miss Simone?, but it does tell us why the question must be asked and will be asked, for a very long time.

San Francisco Chronicle
What Miss Simone does have going for it is its unique access to extremely rare material, some of it never seen publicly before.

Hollywood Reporter
I had some problems with What Happened, Miss Simone? but still found it worthwhile, mainly due to the inclusion of rare archival footage that I had never seen before.

Woman in Revolt
[The film] does offer an excellently clear-eyed primer on the woman whose talent carried her from an impoverished childhood in Tryon, N.C., to the world’s most rarefied stages -- and whose political defiance nearly ended her career. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
Though it is doubtful that [Nina] Simone, were she still alive, would be much impressed with [Kanye] West's music - she once said that she didn't like rap at 'all' - she might recognise in him a fellow spirit.
