Rezensionen

ROLLING STONE ALBUM GUIDE ***** "'Layla' is ultimately about the transformation of the blues.​ "Bell Bottom Blues", for instance, distills the pop blues approach of Blind Faith and Cream; "Tell the Truth" brings the white soul groove Clapton mastered with Delaney and Bonnie to its fruition; while the exquisitely arranged "Little Wing" pulls a pathos from the song that even Hendrix missed.​ ALL MUSIC GUIDE ***** "Quite simply, this is Eric Clapton's finest moment, full of gutsy, impassioned playing and tortured vocals.​ None of the love songs are simple, and the band rocks away their blues in a series of long jams that are never boring.​"
