Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
In cities where the Vitaphone can be installed and reproduce his voice this picture will eminently repay attendance.

TIME Magazine,
28 Jul 2008
rotten:
It's ragged and dull until the magical moment when Jolson turns to the camera to announce, 'You ain't heard nothin' yet' -- a line so loaded with unconscious irony that it still raises a few goose bumps.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The Vitaphoned songs and some dialogue have been introduced most adroitly.
– Mordaunt Hall,

fresh:
Undoubtedly the best thing Vitaphone has ever put on the screen.
