"First-time feature filmmaker Emma Holly Jones spins a lush, lavish, and quite frisky tale with her Mr. Malcolm’s List"
— Kate Erbland, indieWire

— TheWrap
"Jones and Allain’s vision of how we might reinterpret this sort of story for the big screen — including assembling a cast of people who are charming to watch, full stop — is both vital and delightful."
— Kate Erbland, IndieWire
"Jones’ debut is stuffed to the brim with the sharp dialogue and rich costumes that bring us back to the period romance genre again and again. Her direction is serviceable, and the pacing never lingers too long, keeping the laughs and romance coming."
— Katie Walsh, TheWrap
"Mr. Malcolm’s List is a low-key, pleasant slice of escapism, with some lovely scenery and the attendant period-piece costumery and lavish estates, and a host of great-looking people bending themselves into all sorts of knots and doing their best to keep up with the quipping and the courtship rituals and the obligatory Misunderstandings, Deceptions and Betrayals"
— Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
