This really is a remarkable re-creation of a singer whose skill with music placed him in the same category as The Beatles a few years later.

The film is an entertaining chronicle of Holly's brief but productive and influential career as a pioneering rock 'n' roll composer and singer.

Washington Post
The facts in this pop biography are often hopelessly askew, but the story is carried by the unadulterated power of Gary Busey's original and insightful performance.
New Yorker
The film should please Buddy Holly fans and perhaps the young generation who are curious about rock's beginnings. Rave on.

The Spectator
Ultimately, the success of the film rests on Gary Busey's performance. Not since we saw the young Montgomery Clift and James Dean in their earliest roles has an actor emerged with so sharp and instantly empathetic a persona.

Gannett News Service
An extraordinary performance by Gary Busey as the early rock'n'roll star gives life to this otherwise ordinary film.

People Magazine
Fine biopic which showcases a brilliant performance by Busey as Holly, and conveys a real, raw feeling for the music.

Description by OLDIES.com:
With a groundbreaking combination of country music and rhythm & blues, Buddy Holly and the Crickets catapulted to national stardom in just three short years with such hits as "That'll Be the Day," "It's So Easy," and "Peggy Sue." By the age of 22, Holly had it all: chart-topping singles, a beautiful wife, and international acclaim until tragedy ended a brilliant career but not his music.
