Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Until Once, I'm not sure that I'd ever seen a small-scale, nonstylized, kitchen-sink drama in which the songs take on the majesty and devotion of a musical dream.
90
The New York Times - A.O. Scott
Its low-key affect and decidedly human scale endow Once with an easy, lovable charm that a flashier production could never have achieved. The formula is simple: two people, a few instruments, 88 minutes and not a single false note.
88
TV Guide Magazine - Ken Fox
Focusing strictly on stripped-down performances of great music and the charming chemistry between the two leads, it's a perfectly realized yet unassuming movie that deserves to find a big audience.

New York Post - Kyle Smith
What "Rent" should have been, Once is: a Bohemian rhapsody.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - James Greenberg
The film has enormous charm and zero pretense.
