Clinton Heylins ord om "Blood On The Tracks, The New York Sessions":
"I think the Minneapolis recordings (are) pale against the New York recordings, because in a sense he lets the darker side of himself get the better of him in those sessions, which he doesn't in New York. "Idiot Wind," the only song really that is full of recrimination of others, he only does twice in New York, and each time there's incredible sorrow, regret, guilt, all the things that are missing from the later version. I don't think it's an album of sorrow per se, I think it's more an album of que sera, sera. I'm talking about the New York album."
