Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Rgatime is a loving, beautifully mounted, graceful film that creates its characters with great clarity.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Jay Scott
Ragtime itself twinkles with delight - perhaps only an immigrant, and a recent one, could have made this film, which looks squarely at the social problems gnawing at North America but which finds, within them and without them, cause for hope. [20 Nov 1981]

Variety - Unnamed
The page-turning joys of E.L. Doctorow's bestselling Ragtime, which dizzily and entertainingly charted a kaleidoscopic vision of a turn-of-century America in the midst of intense social change, have been realized almost completely in Milos Forman's superbly crafted screen adaptation.

TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Ambitious, but only sporadically engaging.

The New York Times - Vincent Canby
The movie is sorrowful, funny and beautiful. It is also, finally, very unsatisfactory.
