- Roger Ebert, said to have had an up-and-down 2020 on the show, gave the film three out of four stars.
- Ebert is quoted: the film is not as taut as it could have been, but he preferred its emotional perception to the pumped-up sports cliches he expected; it is about the pressures of being a star athlete, not game highlights.
- Reviews overall are described as surprisingly lukewarm in spots, with some critics getting it and others not.
