Yikes. This little musical strummer was slow as molasses and Heigel won't ever pass for a musician.

The songs aren't catchy or good enough to say that this movie worth for its songs and the story isn't appealing or innovative to captivate the spectator during all of its runtime, but it has good performers and the story counts with some twists, but not as much as it should had been.

New York Magazine/Vulture

The film feels like an uncomfortable hodgepodge of styles and tones - gritty and realistic when it's following Ryan, awkwardly staged when it's following Jackie.

RogerEbert.com

If a film based on author Nicholas Sparks' work is like an over-produced power ballad with a 128-piece orchestra, writer/director Ami Canaan Mann's "Jackie & Ryan" is the non-ironic acoustic guitar cover of the same tune.

Rated: 2/4

Los Angeles Times

"Jackie & Ryan" may prove too low-key and deliberately paced for less patient viewers, but distinct pleasures are to be had from this compactly shot film's easy rhythms, affecting tone and nicely modulated performances.

Cinemalogue

There's a familiar tune to this modest low-budget romance about musicians who fall in love, yet it's given a fresh spin by a set of charming performances and a screenplay that generally sidesteps cliches.
