Review Quotes
- "Cadillac Records still has buoyancy to spare. It's filled with bumps and scratches. But in the manner of a nicked old LP, its gnarly surface and warps-and-all sound evokes real life."—Baltimore SunBaltimore Sun: Cadillac Records Offers Quite a Ride (December 5, 2008)
- "Cadillac Records has to be applauded for the unusual care and affection with which it depicts an important time and place in American popular music.

But then in the normal course of things, it could have turned out a lot worse."—MTVMTV: Cadillac Records Riding In Style (December 5, 2008)
- "In Cadillac Records, the music's electrifying but the details are murky."—Boston GlobeBoston Globe: Muddying the Waters (December 5, 2008)
