• "If you haven’t seen a Charlie Wilson show, trust me you don't want to miss it. And if you are an artist the main thing you need to do is go on before him, you don't want to go on after him. It ain't good for you."
    —BET.com, Essence Music Festival 2012
  • "...Charlie Wilson is a force of nature. ...but in terms of that headlining slot – Wilson did not need to write his initials on it to own it. He did that with a performance that left the Dome crying "Uncle."
    — Times-Picayune, July 2012
  • "...Charlie Wilson was given the closing headliner slot this year, and he ran, danced and pranced with it."
    —USA Today, July 2012
  • "the screams that Wilson brought forth during his two-hour set of hits resonated throughout the Superdome louder than any of the other night's acts."
    —BET.com, Essence Music Festival 2012
  • "...I can predict that Charlie Wilson's dynamic non-stop, full-of-energy- and-soul performance at Indigo 02 will go down as the best soul show we've had in London this year. It was tremendous"
    —Soulmusic.com, September, 2011
  • "What I saw at The Hoodies was the greatest single living performer of legendary status of our time. His voice is amazing and his energy and the level of intensity that he has is unbelievable."
    — Steve Harvey, Summer 2010
