Fine biopic which showcases a brilliant performance by Busey as Holly, and conveys a real, raw feeling for the music.

Time Out
Ultimately, the success of the film rests on Gary Busey's performance. Not since we saw the young Montgomery Clift and James Dean in their earliest roles has an actor emerged with so sharp and instantly empathetic a persona.

Rating: B+ --
Gary Busey received a well-deserved Oscar nomination for playing the rock 'n roll legend in this entertaining biopic.

EmanuelLevy.Com
The plotting of this 1978 biopic is contrived, and director Steve Rash's feeling for Buddy Holly's time and place is virtually nil, but Gary Busey's performance is astonishing-less as an interpretation than as a total physical transformation.

Chicago Reader
This really is a remarkable re-creation of a singer whose skill with music placed him in the same category as The Beatles a few years later.

Sky Cinema
The film should please Buddy Holly fans and perhaps the young generation who are curious about rock's beginnings. Rave on.

The Spectator
The Buddy Holly Story smacks of realism in almost every respect, from the dramaturgy involving Holly and his back-up band, The Crickets, to the verisimilitude of the musical numbers.

Description by OLDIES.com:
With a groundbreaking combination of country music and rhythm & blues, Buddy Holly and the Crickets catapulted to national stardom in just three short years with such hits as "That'll Be the Day," "It's So Easy," and "Peggy Sue." By the age of 22, Holly had it all: chart-topping singles, a beautiful wife, and international acclaim until tragedy ended a brilliant career but not his music.
