| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThis film has a voice of its own. And at a time when the romantic comedy seems to be a lost art form, that's saying something. |
| Reel Talk OnlineCandice FrederickCeleste and Jesse Forever is that much needed refreshing take on the modern romantic comedy that's become worn down by repeated tries and mediocre duplicates. |
| We Got This CoveredJonathan LackCeleste and Jesse Forever is a messy film, but every single moment is graced with such profound emotional authenticity that those issues hardly matter. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanI will say that it's been a while since a romantic comedy mustered this much charm by looking this much like life. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyIt's hard to know whether this is a function of the sympathetic screenplay or of Krieger's sympathetic direction - or both - but Celeste and Jesse are endearing even when they do unsympathetic things. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... a break-up song that describes the sputtering end of a marriage with rare clarity and compassion for the decent hearts involved. |

| Salt Lake TribuneSean P. MeansAt the center of it all is Jones' funny and charming performance as Celeste. |
| leonardmaltin.comLeonard MaltinThe reward for sitting through Celeste and Jesse Forever comes in watching Samberg and especially Jones, who are so likable they almost make up for those shortcomings. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldA different kind of romantic comedy: one that starts at the end and tries to make sense of itself. |
