What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  The sharp script, the incredible music, and the confident and stylish direction all play their parts in making Blinded By the Light the hit that Springsteen’s song of the same name never was (though Manfred Mann did rather better with it), but it’s the performances that give it so much of its vitality. | 20 |  |
| RSG Leon van Nierop Dis lighartig met ‘n ernstige ondertoon, baldadig, effektief, vrolik, soms donker, maar altyd inspirerend. BLINDED BY THE LIGHT is vir Springsteen-volgelinge! | 14 | |
