	Media	Author	Review
		Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter	"As joyful and buoyant as its music (...) [It] reveals how significant musicians were in Carter's path from governor of Georgia to president"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A documentary of infectious and lively nostalgia (...) It’s hard not to be stirred by the testimonials"
		Christian Gallichio The Playlist	"While 'Jimmy Carter Rock & Roll President' may lead towards sanctification at times, it’s also a very fun and lighthearted documentary, featuring a number of famous musicians and performances"
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"[It] provides a breezy contrast to the dumbing-down of American leadership in the Trump era, and makes a canny argument for cultural exchange as a far better bargaining chip than anything found in 'The Art of the Deal'"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Engaging (...) The array of admiring interviewees in the film is staggering"
