Allmusic.com gave Tribute to Uncle Ray this review:
“Little Stevie Wonder, Tamla’s 11-year-old musical genius, is blind, a similarity he shares with a famed musician and vocalist of today,” shamelessly announce the liner notes of this album. Unfortunately, Wonder at 11 does not share much of Ray Charles’s vocal abilities, even when he is singing Charles’ songs (others are “originals in the style of his idol”) and, since he doesn’t play on the record, there’s no similarity there either.
