	Author	Review
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Totally fascinating (...) Acting is strong, songs are catchy as rockers reminisce about the days of old (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Jasper Rees Telegraph	"A sweet but sanitised take on 1970s rock 'n' roll excess (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Though [this] version of Daisy Jones is very watchable, it also never finds its own equivalent secret ingredient to push it over the top"	NEU
United States	Mary Kate Carr AV Club	"The love story at the center is compelling enough that viewers won't want to miss a moment of its highs and lows. Much like its titular fictional band, 'Daisy Jones & The Six' is destined to be a crowd-pleaser"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"A flawed but compelling adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s 2019 novel of the same name"	NEU
United States	Thelma Adams The Wrap	"Riley Keough is spectacular in Prime Video’s ’70s rock band series"	POS
United States	Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"[It] succeeds where it matters most: getting you to care about Daisy Jones, Billy Dunne, and their music. If only the show's relationship to the sensuality of the era wasn't as tortured as Daisy and Billy's love"	NEU
United States	Darren Franich Entertainment Weekly	"I had to wipe tears from my eyes"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"A documentary that doesn't make sense, a star-crossed romance with anemic chemistry, and a rock n' roll story built on cliches"	NEG
United States	Max Covill The Playlist	"Every musician has a story about how they made it—'Daisy Jones & the Six' takes that story and makes the best of it"	POS
United Kingdom	Morgan Cormack Radio Times	"A '70s musical drama that's hard not to tear through (...) Fun, messy and home to some catchy tunes, 'Daisy Jones & The Six' is the kind of series that's hard not to like (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"It may not be an earth-shattering. But it plays like a pretty solid cover of a tune we've heard before"	NEU
United Kingdom	The Sunday Times	"[Riley Keough] delivers a compelling performance and manages to achieve significant chemistry with Sam Claflin"	POS
Canada	Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"Even so, it's a good try, and I appreciated all the effort and creative energy expended. Yet it never quite comes together or catches fire as an era-defining tale, which appears to be its goal"	NEG
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"The stars sizzle with chemistry, the band shenanigans are fun and everyone and everything in it looks gorgeous – but it all just feels too slick and sanitary (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Matthew Jacobs TV Guide	"An entertaining adaptation drowns in rock clichés"	NEU
United States	Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"[It] is atmospheric and cinematic, exploring a fictional band in authentic detail, while the show's stunning original songs feel as real as the setting (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"A song with no hook"	NEG
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"'Daisy Jones & The Six' will find an audience, though its lazy reliance on '70s counter-cultural clichés and apocryphal stories grows tiresome"	NEU
United Kingdom	Keith Watson Metro	"Sadly they didn't exist –this is a fantasy– but Riley Keough has a ball as ballsy Daisy"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It has a gorgeous cast of young talents, excellent period detail but it succumbs to the same problem as so many streaming series—sagging when it needs to narratively build momentum (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
Australia	Kylie Northover The Age	"The period vibe is meticulously rendered, and Keough in particular is a standout –but it's not always enough to distract from the occasionally clichéd dialogue and predictable fame-and-its-fallout story arc (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"An excellent adaptation that will please fans of the novel but becomes something much more on screen (...) Riley Keough and Sam Claflin are so good in this story that you will forget they are actors, not rock stars"	POS
Canada	Andrew Parker The Gate	"It's made for the most basic of entertainment value and for a crowd that just wants to hear a hit. There's a market for it, but don’t expect it to be everyone's cup of tea"	NEU
