United States	Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter	"'Echo in the Canyon' deftly captures the diversity of influences that launched groundbreaking bands like The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas and Buffalo Springfield to international acclaim."	POS
United States	Joe Leydon Variety	"A richly evocative and entertainingly anecdotal overview of the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene and its influence on contemporary artists."	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"By keeping things short, sweet and dutifully tuneful, 'Echo in the Canyon' is like the doc version of one of the period’s sonic nuggets, leaving you with a peace/love/understanding high"	POS
United States	Todd Gilchrist The Wrap	"Even if 'Echo in the Canyon' feels slightly anemic at 85 minutes or so, there are worse ways to revisit this epochal artistic moment than via Andrew Slater’s affectionate, intimate documentary."	NEU
