Critic Reviews

  • , TIME Magazine

    Singles may aspire to be a Big Chill from Seattle, but it is really a fizzled St. Elmo's Fire with rowdier music.

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    So lightweight that you're likely to start forgetting it before it's even over.

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    There's no shortage of tender moments in this comedy, and former rock journalist Cameron Crowe cleverly transforms 'real' problems into crackerjack material.

  • Janet Maslin, New York Times

    Mr. Crowe has an exceptional ability to enjoy such characters without a trace of condescension.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    A diverting collection of interwoven vignettes.

    Love this movie, so funny and could really relate to it when I first saw it. Not sure if a younger person watching it now would like it as much. Maybe one for GenX.

  • Steve K


    Worth it for a great soundtrack and a terrific performance by Campbell Scott.

  • xGary X


    Yet another example of Cameron Crowe's penchant for putting the soundtrack above any depth or intelligent storytelling. Alright, but forgettable (much like all his others...)
