      Chuck Bowen Slant Magazine The Family Jams is an edited home video, not a movie, and it's an especially annoying home video with delusions of artistic grandeur. Rated: 1/4 Apr 13, 2011 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety A curiously effective musical docu that captures the raw dynamics of collective creativity. Apr 8, 2011 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times The headliners have a penchant for intimate, largely acoustic songs, and in these settings - galleries, record stores and small, sweaty clubs - their gifts are on vivid, arresting display. Rated: 4/5 Apr 7, 2011 Full Review Derek Smith Tiny Mix Tapes As frustratingly inconsistent as The Family Jams can be, fans of freak folk will likely find just enough rare footage to make it worth their while, but everyone else would be wise to sit this one out. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 11, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
