Music Week – 12 September 2005
"...it is obviously an incredibly worthy purchase, and it has also the advantage of drawing some excellent performances from a stellar cast, most of whom elected to perform classic American songs."

Record Collector – September 2005
"The sincerity of the performers is what raises this above similar events – no one is here because they have a single to plug or to pontificate. Each performer shines on the stage: seeing Chrissie Hynde perform the loungey in The Still of the Night is worth the price tag alone. Alison Moyet reaffirms her status as Britain's best-kept secret, but the night belongs to Yusuf Islam's impromptu performance of The Little Ones, a track originally written for the children of Dunblane, which is so right for the occasion."

Teleschau Media Services (Germany) – September 2005
"One can feel the honesty of the project, the performers' clear intention to draw attention to refugee crisis in Sudan, long ignored by Western countries. The "Voices for Darfur" DVD lines up a number of stars, who, leaving their ego aside, agreed not to perform their own hits but instead present a choice of songs, smooth jazz and evergreens, adequate for the evening and cause. To raise awareness for forgotten or ignored humanitarian disaster is what this technically high quality DVD achieves with excellence." (Translated from German)

Pulse Magazine – August 2005
"While the world awaits the Live 8 DVD in November, it should not overlook DVDs such as Voices for Darfur, which captures a concert given at the Royal Albert Hall on 8 December 2004, in support of the UN High Commission[er] for Refugees' work for the victims of Sudan's Darfur conflict."

Jazzwise Magazine – July 2005
"As a DVD package this scores highly as both a sumptuously shot concert and a full to brimming heap of extras of behind-the-scenes preparations for the concert, and documentaries about the conflict itself."

Evening Standard – December 2004
"Standing tall above everyone was soprano Barbara Hendricks, also the UN's longest-serving Goodwill Ambassador. She spoke eloquently about her first-hand experiences of Darfur, and sang a heart-stopping unaccompanied version of the traditional slave song Motherless Child. Hers was the performance that successfully directed thoughts to Africa. And one uninvited big name created the biggest surprise of the night. Yusuf Islam, better known as Cat Stevens, appeared from the audience to ask if he could speak. He ended up on a chair with an acoustic guitar."

Reuters AlertNet – December 2004
"Members of the audience, who packed the 5,000-capacity hall, cheered and applauded throughout the concert, many describing the night as 'magical.'"
