Entertainment WeeklyLeah Greenblatt
This celebration of the show's legendary talent (Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Tina Turner), serious social impact, and, of course, dynamite dancers (just watch that infamous Soul Train Line) brings it all back in beyond-groovy kaleidoscopic colors.

Admit it: No matter what you remember about "Soul Train" - the dancing, the clothes, the music - just those two words put a smile on your face. So will this VH1 documentary on one of the most successful music shows in the history of anywhere.

As is, Soul Train chugs along smoothly enough, but for the most part salutes a show whose longevity emerges as the most salient part of its legacy.
Read Full Review >Chicago TribuneGreg Cot
As they say on the streetcorner, show and prove, and one of many smile-inducing moments in the documentary is rare footage of Cornelius strutting his fine stuff on his own show with the Supremes’ Mary Wilson.

“Soul Train’’ was about much more than what was on the surface. Those ripples out into the wider world are examined in the lively and absorbing new VH1 documentary .
Read Full Review >New York PostMichael Starr
The entire "Soul Train" story is told, rather deftly, in the VH1 documentary, Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America.
