Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A solid return to roots, MATRIARCH finds James reclaiming her throne - and defying anyone to knock her off it.", 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A testimonial to the staying power of this veteran belter....James sings with conviction about love lost and found. It's a very convincing story.", 3 discs out of 5 - "...Delicious....James' force-of-nature voice and hard-livin' attitude cut through the production gloss...", 4 out of 5 - "...A big woman with a big voice to match....for real nostalgia the lady cannot be beaten.", 3 stars out of 5 - "...Still, with a voice like a blowtorch, Etta James is one of soul's great survivors...", "...She Comes Into the Harbor like a Stately Galleon, Her Sails Full of Warm Wind...", Included in Mojo's "Best Blues Albums of 2001".
