- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreFlock of Four never achieves the giddy highs of a “Diner” or the classics of this genre and period. But it varies the formula just enough to set up the finale. And then Cathey, maestro that he is, brings in on home with a killer solo.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeLess successful as a drama, the out-all-night period piece is overshadowed by many similar coming-of-age tales (the best of which are often made by artists with first-hand knowledge of the period they're depicting). But like its twenty-ish hero, it is well-meaning enough that some viewers will be forgiving.
- 50Village VoiceAbbey BenderVillage VoiceAbbey BenderIt’s atmospheric, and all the music is lovely, but unfortunately nostalgia can only do so much of the heavy lifting.
- 50Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleCathey brings a burnished, bone-deep authority to the question of who music belongs to, and it's handled in a way that doesn't forgive the movie's tonal missteps, but also doesn't dampen its earnest nostalgia for a lost time.
