	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Marc Webb knows how to inflect well-crafted scenes with a personal touch (...) A wry tale that deserves to be seen"	POS
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Nothing in the movie merits or matches the song's deep sincerity or nostalgic grandeur (...) It's hard to make the old feel new again, and even harder when the writer and director barely seem to be trying."	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A dumb male fantasy that’s dead on arrival (...) The film shares the egocentrism of its hero"	NEG
United States	Derek Smith Slant	"The film’s emotional resonance feels hollow, watered down by an overstuffed plot that bites off more than it can chew (...) Webb nicely captures the insular mentality of high-end Upper West Side denizens (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"Another insufferable saga from screenwriter Allan Loeb (...) This is a movie full of characters you would walk away from at a cocktail party"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A rather undistinguished coming-of-age tale with a provocative premise it can’t quite execute (...) The film mistakes terse, showy dialogue for real insight into these struggling souls"	NEG
