	Author	Review
United States	Jem Aswad Variety	"This comprehensive series examines two indisputably forceful, fascinating, innovative and important characters (and the people and events around them) with a level of detail more suited to a completist study"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Dazzling and definitive (...) Solid but friendly"	POS
United States	Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News	"Hughes tries to weave in a number of larger stories besides Dre's and Iovine's own tales. So besides the personal bios, the four-part series also attempts to explore the dramatic changes in the music industry over the period."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"A slick, ambitious four-part HBO documentary (...) Allen Hughes delivers a pair of Horatio Alger stories in one fascinating package (...) [It] provides an enlightening window into Iovine and Dre"	POS
United States	Kristi Turnquist Portland Oregonian	"Superficial, star-studded look at Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine (...) A stylishly made documentary (...) Its tone is generally laudatory. We may wish for more depth and perspective."	NEU
United States	Jen Chaney Vulture	"The careers of both men are so inherently interesting, and the incorporated footage of some of the most revered pop musicians in history doing their thing is so much fun to watch..."	POS
