The Hollywood Reporter
Peter's lightning-fast script and Loncraine's steady direction steer this road picture to the sunny side of the street. - 70
Variety
The ensemble collectively displays crisp comic timing throughout. - 70
Wall Street Journal
Chief among the movie's charms are Ms. Zellweger, Mr. Rendall--whose would-be actor Robbie is a dab hand at embroidery and accessorizing his stepmother--and Mr. Lerman, who plays George as a bookish adolescent with dreams of becoming a writer. - 70
Salon
Sweet, modest and quietly classy, it's the perfect late-summer entertainment -- and it also happens to feature the most relaxed and nuanced performance Renée Zellweger has given in years. - 63
USA Today
My One and Only has an old-fashioned sensibility -- and some lovely Mad Men-style costumes -- making for a pleasantly diverting road movie. - 60
New York Daily News
The movie is filled with fun '50s Americana. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The 1950s suit Zellweger, as does the film. - 58
