This is romantic comedy of the wispiest kind, but the picture is generous, graceful, and consistently funny.
Terrence Rafferty, New Yorker

There's a genial untidiness about Singles, but it's unified by Crowe's affection for his characters, and by the terrific Paul Westerberg music track, which plays like a pulse-beat to these people's lives.

There is something new here, and very fresh.

Crowe doesn't add much to the general discussion, but he's assembled an attractive cast and seems to have a genuine affection for the young people on the screen.
