Reception
[edit]In Variety, Phil Gallo gave the film a negative review, writing:
Jimi Hendrix's life has been pored over so many times that a cursory overview is, at best, questionable and worse, a farce. Hendrix is about as perfunctory as they come, a jaunt through the landmark events of his professional life without the benefit of his music or a lead actor capable of expressing the guitarist's charisma.[2]
