Echo in the Canyon Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Several of the talking heads and reminiscences were part of Jon Brewer's nostalgic documentary Legends of the Canyon: The Origins of West Coast Rock (2010), but Slater's film is slicker, better photographed, and more revealing.
Phoenix Magazine
M.V. Moorhead
Here's one more documentary that's worth a look... The movie still includes extensive chats with [many artists], along with generous doses of their music. How wrong can you go?
Decider
Benjamin H. Smith
While Echo In The Canyon was probably made with the best of intentions, it ultimately fails to satisfy or do justice to its source material.
The Oklahoman
Brandy McDonnell
For a music guy, Slater keeps his rock doc visually captivating with rare photographs, vintage TV performances and clips... the true stars of Echo in the Canyon are the timeless songs...
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Echo in the Canyon" tells a story about a very specific time and place in music, and Young lets the music do the talking for him.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
May the echoes from the Canyon be heard for centuries to come.

Robert Daniels
Seeing Tom Petty back on screen... makes Slater's documentary a worthy and necessary chapter in the greatest decade of popular and rock music.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Despite the obvious shortcomings, Echo in the Canyon should please fans of the music, as well as newcomers to the sound who are experiencing it fresh.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
How did an apparently sincere tribute turn into such a weirdly clueless vanity project?
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Consistently amiable, if a bit wandery, "Echo in the Canyon" provides a good time, too.
Washington Post
Pat Padua
"Echo" recalls a fertile era in the history of American pop music. But all too often, it wanders out of the very canyon that defines it.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
What makes this more than just a movie for fans of that music -- and what music! -- is that it delves into what made that era such a creative cauldron, comparable in some ways, as the film points out, to Paris in the 1920s and '30s.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
For rock 'n' rollers of all ages, it's mandatory viewing.
New York Times
Helen T. Verongos
The delight of "Echo in the Canyon" is in the delicious details its subjects impart.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
A film like this is catnip for the analytical hemisphere of my brain, as it details precisely how The Beatles led to The Byrds, and then in turn how The Beach Boys' landmark album, 'Pet Sounds,' inspired 'Sgt. Pepper.'
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
By keeping things short, sweet and dutifully tuneful, "Echo in the Canyon" is like the doc version of one of the period's sonic nuggets, leaving you with a peace/love/understanding high and a desire to break out the vinyl for more of the same.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
Slightly wastes an opportunity to showcase the multigenerational reverberations of that movement because it never settles on a strong voice and specific vision to tie together their recollections into a cohesive story.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A richly evocative and entertainingly anecdotal overview of the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene and its influence on contemporary artists.
Citizen Dame
Kristen Lopez
Echo in the Canyon truly sings!
The Hollywood Reporter
Justin Lowe
Rich with revealing observations and engaging anecdotes, Slater's documentary skirts the nostalgia trap by engagingly connecting with an impressive lineup of contemporary singer-songwriters...
