Next Stop, Greenwich Village is a very beautiful motion picture.

"Next Stop, Greenwich Village" isn't aggressively awful. It is inept but mostly it's just commonplace.

Vincent Canby, New York Times
Fresh

The movie's part autobiography and part fiction, but it's all of a piece because Mazursky captures the tone of the 1950s.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

Seems more like a slavish hommage to Federico Fellini than a genuine reminiscence.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A middlebrow American Graffiti, minus the music and set in Greenwich Village, 1953.
