San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Hartlaub
The result is an excellent film - entertaining and informative and sometimes stunning in its display of the personal demons shared by these two geniuses.

Village Voice - Unnamed
Boys is first-rate cinema archaeology. What pushes it beyond that is the brutal honesty with which the sibling rivalry between the elder Shermans is depicted; theirs is a palpable mixture of love and disdain that led to the men not socializing with each other for more than 40 years.
80
Variety - Dennis Harvey
Engaging documentary draws on plentiful archival footage and A-list interviewees, and should lure dedicated nostalgists.
80
New York Daily News - Elizabeth Weitzman
A vital one for movie fans.

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
The Boys is so heartfelt that it elicits a sense that complex creative relationships may ultimately elude explication, leaving Jeffrey Sherman to speculate that the friction between his father and his uncle was what brought their songs alive.
