| Moveable FestStephen SaitoWhile "Greetings from Tim Buckley" is consistently more modest, it is nonetheless bound to inspire imitators to sing the next time they pull the Buckleys' albums from shelves. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanPenn Badgley saunters around with an air of spooky self-possession, and he does a dead-on impersonation of Buckley's high-vibrato wail. |
| Urban CinefileAndrew L. UrbanWhile the film seems like a tribute itself it doesn't have significant commercial appeal but it may appeal to the fans |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUneven but engrossing biopic on 1960s folk singer Tim Buckley. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversBadgley, best known for playing "lonely boy" Dan Humphrey on Gossip Girl, is a revelation. He wears his role like a second skin. |

| The Hollywood ReporterDeborah YoungDan Algrant’s lyrical recreation of a father-son relationship seen over time, through memory and music, has a sense of urgent originality that works even apart from its great Tim Buckley score. |
