A Jazzman's Blues Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Carlos Aguilar
Notwithstanding the embellishments, this undoubtedly remains a Tyler Perry film - occasionally for better, but often for worse.
Next Best Picture
Nadia Dalimonte
Characters are written in such a way that they over-explain emotion and circumstance. However, the emotion between them is present and carries you through the story.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"A Jazzman's Blues" has the aging-fine-wine feel of something deep, rich, tangy, and earthy.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
"A Jazzman's Blues" is packed with outsize emotions, but also grand themes.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Perry can't resist hammering his message home with an oversized mallet in the closing moment... But "A Jazzman's Blues" is a confident, assured work that finds Perry playing in a different key than we're used to.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
While sections of the endeavor show some restraint, Perry can't help himself, aiming for pure audience reaction with this exhausting soap opera.
KKFI-FM (Kansas City)
Russ Simmons
"A Jazzman's Blues" is a sporadically engaging old school melodrama.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
The danger comes in diverse forms, shaped by the times, jealousy and despair, all of it tainted by Jim Crow. Tyler Perry reminds us that racism still hurts and undermined American culture. Great music!
indieWire
Katie Rife
It's apparent that Perry worked in theater when he wrote this script. At its core, "A Jazzman's Blues" is a soap opera full of shocking secrets, emotional confrontations, and one exceedingly satisfying slap.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
A Jazzman's Blues proves that when Perry applies himself in a particular fashion, his work can stand entirely on its own.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
As an earnest melodrama that yanks too aggressively at the heartstrings, it ultimately suffers from the same heavy-handed indulgences as Perry's less ambitious projects.
Hollywood Reporter
Lovia Gyarkye
With A Jazzman's Blues, Tyler Perry proves himself to be, more than anything, a reliable auteur of serviceable melodramas.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Perry's screenplay establishes a string of melodramatic setups, payoffs, and disappointments.
In Review Online
Paul Attard
There's something so internally off about nearly everything here that it implies passivity; there's very little that suggests this was a passion project, which can realistically be the sole reason why this screenplay wasn't left to further collect dust.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Perry's vision is welcome in a world where so few filmmakers will take a chance on making an old-fashioned melodrama, even one that also explores, as this one does, some painful historical underpinnings.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
[Perry] has a way of making even the most telegraphed twists and overheated dialogue ring with conviction, a consummate entertainer to the end.

Dwight Brown
Perry has accomplished tonally, artistically and dramatically all he needed to do with this rich melodrama. No wrinkles. No mistakes.
The Playlist
Robert Daniels
There is tension in "A Jazzman's Blues" between the prestige trappings of a big-budget sentimentalized melodrama and the kind of filmmaker Perry is.
Common Sense Media
John Sooja
While there's a lot to like about A Jazzman's Blues, it runs too long, scenes linger, and plenty of the writing and acting are a bit melodramatic.
Decider
John Serba
This story shows the kind of heart, soul and social relevance Perry rarely explores, which is admirable even when it leads him toward half-baked literary ambitions.
