- 70Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenSexy and sexually frank, Becks works thanks to the musical talent and offbeat charms of its lead. Hall feels authentic at each moment, whether she's strumming a guitar in a dive bar, fighting with her mother or falling in love.
- 70Village VoiceTatiana CraineVillage VoiceTatiana CraineWith Becks, directors Elizabeth Rohrbaugh and Daniel Powell have crafted an understated musical that really works, thanks to Alyssa Robbins’s heartfelt music and standout performances from the cast.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberThe film is very well designed by directors Rohrbaugh and Powell, the musical interludes really sing and the actors make for scintillating company.

- 60The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThe New York TimesBen KenigsbergPerhaps recognizing their biggest asset, the directors, Elizabeth Rohrbaugh and Daniel Powell, allow Ms. Hall’s numbers to play out at length... If the screenplay perhaps backs itself into a corner, its irresolution feels true to life.
