	Author	Review
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"'Quincy' presents a streamlined and convincing case for taking a much deeper dive into his accomplishments"	POS
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"The material is rich and the cast list starry, but the overall package veers a little too close to gushing vanity project in places."	NEU
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"The result is a jaunty stroll through the last half-century of music history, and a fitting tribute to a living legend."	POS
United Kingdom	Charles Bramesco The Guardian	"[It] fails to exploit her access to her subject (...) In sticking to recitation of well-known historical fact and flattery it has taken the easy way out (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Jack Hamilton Slate	"'Quincy' is out to print the legend; it just never manages to quite get its story straight"	NEU
