L.A. Weekly -
For all its simplicity, however, the film is entertaining, even uplifting, with Lopez giving a stellar, confectionary performance.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Selena succeeds, through Lopez's performance, in evoking the magic of a sweet and talented young woman.

ReelViews -
This is a simple story of hope and triumph, of one girl with the drive to succeed defying the odds and following her dream. It's not an original tale -- movies like this abound -- but Nava's point-of-view is fresh.

Los Angeles Times -
Selena is in part a completely predictable Latino soap opera that should satisfy those who complain they aren't making movies like they like used to.

The New York Times -
On its own good-natured terms, Selena' is both pleasant to watch and instructive in familiarizing a movie audience with the Texan-Mexican borderland music known as Tejano.
