"This soundtrack was great, especially the songs by Arrow, UB40 and Aaron Neville. Guess who's Coming to Dinner is a jam. I've searched long and hard for it for years, and I'm glad Amazon has it."
If you like Reggae, You'll love this Soundtrack

"I've been to the Islands twice because of this sountrack. It actually (auditorily) takes you to the beaches of St Maarten, Barbados, and Antigua. But see the video for added realism!"
Enjoyable mix

"The soundtrack version of "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" by Michael Rose is great, and Yello's "Habanera" really stands out. The cover of "I'm Hurting Inside" is also enjoyable. Even songs I might not otherwise enjoy, like "Yellow Moon" (sorry, it's a matter of personal taste), work in the mix.
Many Rastas dislike "The Mighty Quinn" movie adaptation of the novel "Finding Maubee," and many hardcore reggae fans would pass over this soundtrack, but I have to admit that I've found pleasure in both."
Not a complete soundtrack

"The songs on the album all carry the flavor of the movie and the islands. The only drawback from me giving this five stars is that is it missing one of the best songs IMO. That song is Taj Mahal's "Cakewalk into Town". In the movie Denzel Washington sings this song as he plays the piano. Great scene and great song. It is really a shame that they couldn't add this to the album. Maybe it was a contractual thing or just an oversight. The rest of the songs are worth owning, but it isn't a complete soundtrack."
