New York Magazine (Vulture) by Jen Chaney

In short, the Prince tribute is just fun, celebratory in a way that things used to be when people were allowed to stand much closer than six feet from each other and dance their hearts out to “Baby I’m a Star.” As much as I’ve been moved by some of the musical performances I’ve streamed or viewed in recent weeks, I don’t think I’ve had as much fun watching a concert as I had previewing this one.

This is a worthy tribute special, as long as your expectations are not that anyone on it will ever actually go crazy. ... But the show really takes off in the moments when there’s something a bit more transformative happening. One of these is when “The Beautiful Ones,” maybe the most underrated song off “Purple Rain,” becomes a ballet instead of just a ballad, featuring the show’s biggest rock star: Misty Copeland.
