B+
"An intelligent, eye-opening documentary that gives young women a chance to open their tightly-guarded hearts and explore their talents and bliss."  BrianOrndorf.com  Brian Orndorf

2.5/5
"comes off a bit like an extended advertisement for the place"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

C
"Rhetoric far outweighs substance in this vaguely satisfying and preachy doc."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

"Music -- as a general concept and in the daily details of rock camp -- occasions this ideal state, connected and creative."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

2.5/5
"The filmmakers end up rushing us through these girls' stories, achieving a vague sense of female angst but ultimately barely skimming the surface."  DVDTalk.com  David Cornelius

3/5
"Never seeks to be anything more than a simplistic look at young women not just learning how to create music, but how to take hold of their talents and use it to their advantage..."  Film Threat  Felix Vasquez Jr.

2/4
"The directors sacrifice substantially investigating the four girls for Morgan Spurlock-ish populist gimmickry."  Slant Magazine  Nick Schager

7/10
