It's absurdly maudlin, a creaky story of a modern American son with "jazz music" in his soul.... But Jolson is marvelous, mugging and shimmying his way through songs

Top Critic...a landmark film, and it's good to have it in so good a restored digital print and with so good a restored soundtrack. (Three-Disc Deluxe Edition)

Just an okay little story that is too mired in soapy melodrama and Jolson's hammy performance to rise above simple mediocrity...
