"It's probably impossible to make a completely satisfying biography of Sinatra that manages to cover he his entire seven-decade-spanning career in a single film, but writer Lon Charles and director Martin Scorsese give us a solid and occasionally great take on Ol' Blue Eyes, anchored by another top-notch DiCaprio performance." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times



"Not a disaster, but also certainly not a masterpiece. With the talent involved I was expecting close to a masterpiece, but it might just be impossible to tell the story of Frank Sinatra within the constraints of a film and not disappoint a little bit. There are some truly great scenes in this one, but they are hindered by the format." - Rick Green, New Yorker


"Martin Scorsese tackles the legendary singer with a confident script from Lon Charles. The story gives us the greatest hits, more or less, while giving us a sometimes harrowing and  always entertaining look at Sinatra. I appreciated that it didn't pull any punches, with every character being depicted with warts and all by a strong cast of actors." - Samuel O'Brien, Sight and Sound Magazine
