| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe performances are spot-on, with former Tampa resident Morgan Simpson scripting a showcase for himself as Jefferson, and Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile) as the enigmatic stranger, proving again that he's more than just a not-so-pretty face atop an intimidating body. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonA lightly enjoyable road picture about a circuitous road to redemption, Black, White and Blues offers simple, down-home pleasures while spinning an undeniably familiar but emotionally satisfying tale. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeRipples with the emotions and the saddened circumstances of those gallant and talented folks who sing the blues. |
