      Stuart Jeffries Guardian The only failing of Simon Sheridan's fond documentary is in explaining what went wrong when Jeff Wayne asked Chris Amoo to sing Forever Autumn and Thunder Child for his musical version of HG Wells's novel. Rated: 5/5 Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) This was not a groundbreaking documentary. It was the usual. Talking heads. Old footage. But it was still absorbing as the surviving band members recollected. Rated: 3/5 Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) While Sheridan's film can be formulaic, it's an invaluable document of a different era of racial intolerance. Rated: 4/5 Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A worthwhile musical-history footnote, particularly for those who'd like to explore every nook and cranny of the original disco era. Feb 18, 2021 Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) All told it was a fascinating story, albeit one that could have easily been captured in an hour rather than 90 minutes (too many talking heads, too little editing). Rated: 4/5 Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Joe Muggs The Arts Desk Overall this is a masterful bit of storytelling -- about a brilliant band, who, after decades of being all but written out of history, deserve nothing less. Rated: 5/5 Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
