| Philadelphia InquirerDesmond RyanThe many charms of Hear My Song hinge on its deft balance of the puckish humor of the present situation and a genuine sense of loss and roads not taken in the past. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksWhat makes Hear My Song most appealing is its loopy sense of humor, along with such unexpected touches as characters suddenly singing or dancing at the most unexpected moments. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThe luck of the Irish is readily apparent in Hear My Song... This winning first feature by the Irish writer and director Peter Chelsom has the kind of blithe, fanciful magic that can't be achieved through skill alone. |

| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasSuch an unalloyed joy is this Anglo-Irish comedy that it recalls the great Ealing classics of the '50s. |
