The general take
Craig Robinson watched American Symphony and was deeply moved by it, calling it a Higher Ground production that he recommends for everyone. He found himself nearly in tears early on, describing the emotional impact as something beyond just great writing or acting—it was the combination of the couple's story together that got to him.

“I watched American Symphony for the first time. A higher ground production. A higher ground production. Every month. That every, I recommend it for everyone. But let me tell you, I was bawling almost, it wasn't quite the beginning, but early on. And, and let me tell you, it's a little different than bawling over great writing or great acting. It was the combination of their story together, which is a love story. And, and, and, and his music, his music touched me in a way that when I met him, I almost started crying.”
