Rolling Stone
Their twenty-third album, Illumination, taps into Santana’s now-familiar Supernatural formula: Give a veteran great a hip replacement by surrounding it with lots of gifted youngbloods. […]

Slant Magazine
Like nearly everything else about Illumination, their “The Way You Move” doesn’t resemble either cover or tribute so much as outright theft. Why Kenny G is driving their getaway car is anyone’s guess. Must be the bottomless tank of gas. […]

Volt & Volume
Earth, Wind & Fire stay true to their spiritual vision and their positive, inspiring music and messages. Illumination is a wonderful continuation of the Earth, Wind & Fire sound and an an impressive addition to their timeless musical legacy. […]
