| New York PostLou LumenickWriter-director Aviva Kempner crafted this love letter to Greenberg by imaginatively weaving interviews with great footage from newsreels and feature films. |
| Washington PostStephen HunterIt's an adroit manipulation of interviews and stock footage, mostly along the lines of establishing not so much what Hammerin' Hank did for himself, but what he meant to American Jews. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternAviva Kempner hits a grand slam in her thrilling documentary about baseball, about a great baseball player, about Jews in America and about the country itself in the 1930s and 1940s. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranAviva Kempner's warm and intelligent mash note to a man who clearly deserved it. |
