Variety Staff Variety Mar 26, 2009
From this thin thread of yarn, songs, situations and dance routines arise fairly naturally. Even when dragged in, they add a lot to the excitement. Richard has a warm presence and sings and dances more than adequately. Go to Full Review
Bosley Crowther New York Times May 9, 2005
[Summer Holiday] would have looked feeble and imitative back in the years when Betty Grable was making college musical comedies for Paramount. Go to Full Review
Penelope Gilliatt Observer (UK) Mar 9, 2024
Peter Yates's Summer Holiday, with Cliff Richard, must he the most cheerful and skilful British musical of our generation. Go to Full Review
MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin Mar 4, 2019
