Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Editor Alex Shuper seamlessly cuts together vintage and contemporary performances of the same song, a device that showcases just how good Lightfoot still is at eighty.

Pretty darn good stuff for a fan like me.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Near the end ... someone suggests a life filled with trouble and burden, and that might have been a story worth telling.
WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)
Patrick McDonald
Arguably, Gordon Lightfoot is considered The Beatles of Canada for his ability to create memorable songs, and is honored for it ... A must see for fans, or fans of music docs.
Austin Chronicle
Raoul Hernandez
Gordo got wasted too in a reveal appearing conspicuously at the film's two-thirds mark, which proves a veggie patty between the lightly toasted buns of artistic self-loathing faintly framing If You Could Read My Mind.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A music-packed documentary revealing all the reasons to love the songs of the legendary Canadian musician.
Spectrum Culture
Pat Padua
It won't send casual listeners searching for those deep cuts.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Conventional and tasteful documentary on the now 81-year-old legendary Canadian singer/songwriter.
The Oklahoman
Brandy McDonnell
Writer-directors Martha Kehoe and Joan Tosoni capitalize on both Lightfoot's blunt honesty and legendary song catalog, creating a captivating and pleasingly unconventional rock doc.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"If You Could Read My Mind" celebrates how Gordon Lightfoot turned his own wreckage into something sublime.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
A thoroughly engaging retrospective of a hard-working, hard-living performer who survived to tell the tale.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
[A] straightforward, engaging documentary...
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although far from comprehensive, the entertaining cinematic biography should well please the singer's longtime fans, particularly those who have followed him through his career spanning six decades, and possibly make him some new ones.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind gets the job done well in telling Lightfoot's story while putting into context how he was one of the pioneering Canadian solo artists who was able to make it big as a pop star in the United States.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
An enjoyable recap of Lightfoot's life.

Peter Sobczynski
There is nothing overtly awful about it but, its relentless blandness does not begin to convince me of his alleged greatness.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The venerable Canadian crooner definitely deserves a salute to his music and legacy, and this breezy documentary provides a serviceable career retrospective.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind is pure gold.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Tim Appelo
Immortal folkie Lightfoot, 81, the author of classics such as "Carefree Highway" and "Sundown," shows the wisdom of age in this must-see documentary.
Seattle Film Blog
Kathy Fennessy
If You Could Read My Mind joins the ranks of recent sensitively-drawn, well-constructed music documentaries about folk-rock peers Linda Ronstadt and David Crosby, who also found ways to stay relevant and energized years after their initial burst of fame.
