	Author	Review
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"It would have been great if 'Love to Love You, Donna Summer' had been more unequivocal in its celebration of that legacy, rather than short-changing the work for which she will always — deservingly — be best known"	NEU
United States	Matthew Carey Deadline	"It offers moving portrait of brilliant singer who struggled with fame and faith"	POS
United States	Johnny Loftus Decider	"A valuable tool for illustrating the singer’s inner life, and how it existed concurrently with her popular emergence"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The film shows us who Summer was offstage but should have taken a deeper dive into her music"	NEU
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"Fans of Summer’s music may be disappointed by this approach (...) But there is a lot of wonderful music here too, threaded between revealing stories"	NEU
United States	Jamie Ludwig Chicago Reader	"A touching, thought-provoking, and overwhelmingly human portrait of a fascinating artist"	POS
