"A history lesson that holds some pleasures even for those who know its material by heart."
John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter

"Evokes the flavor of the era just before the music business exploded into a mass-market juggernaut. The film's pleasures are the same ones offered by a sprawling, lavishly illustrated magazine spread."
Stephen Holden, The New York Times
