Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie is told almost entirely from Nolte's point of view, and he makes an immensely likable character right from the top.

ReelViews -
There's a good dose of reality in this story, even if the script occasionally becomes too preachy. The end sequences especially could have been toned down.

The New York Times -
Only late in the game do they make an unforgivable mistake. Blue Chips falls apart when the film makers, figuratively speaking, haul their soapbox right onto the court. Most of the time, Blue Chips is too energetic to sound self-righteous.

Los Angeles Times -
At its best, though, Blue Chips is really about the wiggy, muscle-twitch world of high-pressure college athletics. The movie is best around the edges, when it's jamming and anecdotal and not taking itself so heroically seriously.

Entertainment Weekly -
The folly of Blue Chips is that the film makes this greased-palm corruption seem an even bigger sin than it is. (It's like a political drama made by someone who is shocked, shocked at the sleaze of campaign financing.)
