"Still sounds great, and looks as good as ever through Ray-Bans."
— Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
"There's even room, in the midst of the carnage and mayhem, for a surprising amount of grace, humor, and whimsy."
— Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"One of the great American comedy films... It’s just a joy to watch even forty three years on. John Belushi was never better as the lead. He’s funny just standing there."
— Victoria Luxford, BBC.com
"The Blues Brothers is the year's best film to date; one of the, all-time great comedies; the best movie ever made in Chicago. All are true, and, boy, is that ever a surprise."
