United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Badgley, best known for playing 'lonely boy' Dan Humphrey on 'Gossip Girl', is a revelation. He wears his role like a second skin (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter	"Dan Algrant’s lyrical recreation of a father-son relationship seen over time, through memory and music, has a sense of urgent originality that works even apart from its great Tim Buckley score"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"It’s sweet, sentimental, almost inevitably touching if not especially persuasive"	NEU
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"The result is at once skillfully observed and a bit so-what"	NEU
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"Director Daniel Algrant chose well with Badgley, who transcends the rather made-for-TV vibe with a decent rendition of Buckley’s haunting falsetto (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
