United States | The New York Times | "Thanks in large part to Mr. Candy, who gives an honestly touching performance in what might have been a cloying role, this story does have its simple charms." | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "The performers keep you watching (Candy, I’m convinced, could be a fine dramatic actor), yet the movie itself is a thin procession of clichés." | NEU |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "It’s not the gem it wants to be, but it’s good in comparison to many of the sensation-hungry pictures around it" | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "It's simple, sweet and uninspired (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" | NEG |
United States | Boston Globe | "'Only the Lonely' is an unflashy romantic comedy, one that is mildly romantic and mildly comic - though not enough of either to make it fully satisfying." | NEU |
United States | Miami Herald | "The script is by Chris Columbus, who also directed, and it's as lazy as it is maudlin." | NEG |
