"A nostalgic stroll through the many genres he dabbled with in during his career." - Wall Street Journal
"Seemingly destined without fail for the uppermost ranks of best sellers." - New York Times
"A tantalizing collection of duets with old and young admirers.he[Charles] sounds positively fabulous with so many soul mates around him." - Boston Globe
"Ray Charles did it right for his swan song... He's in primo vocal shape, his inimitable voice of grit, sass, moan and sweet soul sway over the proceedings that range from gentle pop to deep-down blues." - Billboard
"This CD [Genius Loves Company] seems a lock to net Charles Grammy gold. Thankfully, his final project stands proud with some of his finest." - Miami Herald
"The premiere stylist saved a lot for a collection that should have a year-end Grammy presence. Few who ever marveled at the magic of Charles'
soulful touch are likely to get through these 12 duets without being profoundly moved at some point." - LA Times
"The Genius' final album shines with help from BB, Willie and others." - Rolling Stones
