A Man Called Adam Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Clifford Terry
Davis skillfully agonizes over his role, bringing it possibly to its maximum potential, which unfortunately isn't much.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The screen all but bursts with [Davis'] intense talent. It is an awesome experience merely to witness him hold a pause.
Detroit Free Press
Ken Barnard
A production with the look of being hastily stitched together, while nurturing loftier ambitions.
New York Daily News
Kathleen Carroll
Character development is superficial. John Knight directs from a script that has no novelty or suspense.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Henry T. Murdock
The result is a thematic monotone which may be the fault of scripters Les Pine and Tina Rome, but Davis plays its limited range with skill and when he raises his trumpet (even though Cannonball Adderly has dubbed the horn), the movie hits some high notes.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
The picture fails, although it tries hard and, in some ways, admirably.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It remains a curiosity film long after its release.
