Here's what Don Rayno wrote about it:


"This is the second version of this Show Boat hit recorded by Whiteman; the 
first was made on January 11, with Bing Crosby handling the vocal. This 
version, with Paul Robeson's and Young's polished vocals and a 
fifteen-member vocal chorus, is more theatrical. The previous one is more of 
a dance record. "
