New York Times, 09/15/1995
"'My American Journey' is, at once, one of those inspirational success stories so often recounted at the sort of motivational seminars General Powell has spent the last two years doing...and a glossily packaged trial balloon that floats his life story as a campaign platform. It represents perhaps the apotheosis of the current phenomenon of political-salesmanship-by-book." -- Michiko Kautani 

Time, 09/18/1995
"The book's considerable strength lies not so much in what Powell has to say about politics or his service in Washington as in what he says about the forces that shaped his character and thinking: his parents, his early attraction to a military career, his brushes with racism in the South, his two tours of duty in Vietnam. Powell...retains a serious but not pompous tone, with frequent flashes of self-deprecating wit." -- James Kelly
