Bruce Eder of AllMusic writes, "There are better collections with all of these songs and more on them, but none handier than this in presenting every facet of Cooke's work -- the only flaw, if there is one, is the absence of one of the better tracks off of the Harlem Square live album."[4]

Rolling Stone's Steve Bloom writes, "The Man and His Music will probably just confirm what people already knew about Sam Cooke: he possessed a voice that could burn down the house, but he compromised it for stardom."[5]

gollark: They have a limited budget, but are also not very averse to wildly throwing money at things.
gollark: If someone says "I am going to this university" and the government has to say "yes", it will break horribly.
gollark: If they go for "fund whatever college stuff people want", then no.
