The Los Angeles Times's music critic rated the release with iii stars out of four, and wrote: "Ray Charles surely would have admired the inventive and lively jazz-drenched arrangements accompanying many of his standards, including "Hit the Route Jack," "Disrepair," "Hallelujah I Love Her And so," "Unchain My Heart" and "Cryin' Time."[eight] Rolling Rock praised Nelson and Jones' duet on Buck Owens' "Crying Fourth dimension", but criticized the affluence of solos between Nelson and Marsalis' band: "(Hither We Get Again) feels like a missed opportunity. Nelson's nylon-stabbing guitar is too scarce here, giving fashion to Marsalis' jazz band, a slick cast that rotates solos exhaustively."[9] The Texas Monthly likewise criticized the arrangements: "applying Willie'south offhand cool and Jones's trademark reserve to the genius'southward hits, particularly his baking soul classics, makes about as much sense equally asking Tony Bennett to comprehend the Butthole Surfers [...] Here We Go Once more is full of arrangements that take the incorrect fork in the road. The expert musicianship of Marsalis'south working ring overthinks and dulls downwardly nigh every tune."[17]
The Daily Telegraph rated it with four stars out of five. Praising Nelson, Marsalis and Jones as well as the backing band, the critic stated "They have washed Ray Charles proud".[10] Meanwhile, The Austin Chronicle rated the album with two stars out of v; critic Jay Trachtenberg wrote: "Despite boasting favorites from Charles repertoire including "Cryin' Time," "Busted," and "Hit the Road Jack," this summit never clicks, perhaps a result of the one-off nature of the project making information technology hard for the musical personalities to fully gel".[eleven] The New Zealand Herald wrote: "While they may seem like a funny couple, with the deft precision and mode of Marsalis seemingly at odds with Nelson's more unkempt delivery, it actually works".[12]
AllMusic wrote: "With Charles' standards like "Hallelujah I Love Her So", "Cryin' Time", "Hit the Road Jack", "Busted", "Makin' Whoopie", and his iconic signature striking, "What'd I Say" all sounding comfortable and fresh. The merely affair missing is Ray Charles himself, who undoubtedly would take had no trouble fitting into these shows. Radio now splits everything into little niches. That isn't what Charles was well-nigh. He saw music every bit convergence. This fine concert anthology plays in that same spirit".[13]
PopMatters delivered a mixed review, praising the team of Nelson, Marsalis and Jones, simply criticizing the performance of the songs, indicating that they consisted only of an all-star lineup that did non use a new perspective to Charles' recordings: "the whole never really rises above the sum of its parts, and no i ever tries to teach us something new about these tunes. [...] Not that hearing these voices on keen tunes doesn't thrill. Information technology does. [...] What's missing is some chemical element of take chances or cede".[fourteen]
BBC Music wrote a mixed review, remarking that
"Marsalis and company don't exactly hit the bull's-center every fourth dimension on this recording of the issue. And what's most apparent, sadly, is that Nelson's song deficiencies abound more obvious every yr. Some might argue that his weathered vocalisation has gained in character what information technology has lost in strength and range, but my ears tell me otherwise [...] On the plus side, the Marsalis band compensates quite adequately for occasional lacklustre vocals, navigating the various nooks and crannies of Charles' eclectic songbook with only the right combination of jazz and pop smarts. [...] Cheers largely to the instrumental work, in that location'southward a satisfying corporeality of amusement value on this release – fifty-fifty if major revelations are not forthcoming."[sixteen]
The review also noted that, while Jones added "fashion and brio" to both jazz ("Come Rain or Come up Smoothen", "Makin' Whoopee") and country ("Here We Get Again") songs, she sat out most rhythm and blues songs.[16]
