Critical reception for Amazing Grace: Jeff Buckley  has been mostly positive. Paste magazine reviewed the film, noting that "This reverent, powerful film doesn’t answer any questions about Buckley’s death, but it assures that his greatest gifts are still with us." Denis Harvey of Variety was more critical, writing that "Electrifying performance footage in "Amazing Grace" underlines the sense that a great talent was lost. But this less-than-definitive docu portrait works overtime abetting his tragic-hero mythology, worshipping the artist but omitting insight into the man." References
