The Jazz Singer Ratings & Reviews
Billboard
Vicki Pipkin
... A safe vehicle for any newcomer to the widescreen because the storyline has universal appeal. [Full review in Spanish]
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Stick with Jolson's version via 1927. Or even the Danny Thomas take. Skip Neil.
TV Guide
The third and, one hopes, final remake of THE Jazz Singer is the least interesting attempt so far.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Diamond tries his best. Olivier over compensates, but the songs are classic.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The Jazz Singer has so many things wrong with it that a review threatens to become a list.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Mr. Diamond, looking glum and seldom making eye contact with anyone, isn't enough of a focus for the outmoded story.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
An unintentional laff riot. Olivier is so over the top that it's mesmerizing.
Apollo Guide
Brian Webster
... 111 minutes is a lot to take for anyone but the most keen Diamond fans.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Richard Fleischer's direction is appropriately close-in and small, and Diamond himself, while no actor, proves to be a commandingly intense, brooding presence.
