| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO]...a knock-off of a knock-off movie that has the audacity to attempt to authenticate its rock 'n' roll credibility by casting a giant like Peter Fonda in a supporting role. Shame. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCliche-ridden and ineptly made...a period piece that would have been moldy even twenty years ago. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenSome grace notes and riffs ring true, but mainly it plays like a familiar tune on a broken record. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibUnfortunately, the unconvincing fictional storyline Rosenbaum weaves around this solid musical base hits every meller cliche in the "self-destructive rock star" playbook. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAn exhausted pileup of rock-movie clichés, The Perfect Age of Rock 'n' Roll presents artistic self-destruction with the solemnity of a movie that has invented a spanking-new genre. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThose who go looking for tragic relevance in Scott Rosenbaum's debut indie won't find much to grasp onto. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeA limp piece of fan fiction about a fictional rock band's heyday and decline. |
| Film-Forward.comNora Lee Mandel[Despite] a rousing jam with elder blues icons [and] Zegers' showy role. . .story feels like a studied period recreation for the History Channel. |

| New York PostLou LumenickYou'd be better off renting "Eddie and the Cruisers" (1983) than slogging through this latest, far more dire recycling of the same rock clichés. |
