Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B- --
This idealized tribute to a charismatic teacher who devotes himself to music appreciation has the same old-fashioned texture and sticky sentimentality as Goodbye Mr. Chips (of 1939), but Dreyfuss gives an effective, surprisingly restrained performance
Variety
Rating: 9/10 --
A touching, uplifting and life-affirming winner that makes it hard to avoid leaving the theater teary-eyed, with a lump in your throat.
Fantastica Daily
...[Dreyfuss] here finds the right tones for Mr. Holland, from youthful cocksureness to the gentle insight of age....The supporting cast is all strong...
