From National Review's critic Kyle Smith:
Bruce Springsteen has a confession to make. “I made it all up,” he tells the audience in his new Netflix special Springsteen on Broadway. “Bruce Springsteen” the persona — all gritty working-class authenticity — is a creation. “I’ve never held an honest job in my entire life!” he says. “I’ve never done any hard labor. I’ve never worked 9 to 5. I’ve never worked five days a week. Until right now.”

The review linked above concludes with the opinion that while his persona, modeled on his father, may have been faked, Springsteen's artistry is sublime.
