Los Angeles Times
The film's locales have an appealing authentic feel to them, and everything from decor to music contributes to making Looking for an Echo an appealing heart-tugger. - 63
New York Daily News
The best performance comes from Venora. - 50
New York Post
Well-meant but rambling little indie melodrama. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
A slow-moving, dramatically slack film. - 40
