ReelViews: Cadillac Records - Review, by James Berardinelli: "There are plenty of small pleasures to be found throughout Darnell Martin's feature, but a compelling storyline featuring three-dimensional characters is not among them." [Rating: 2.5 out of 4].
TV Guide: Cadillac Records - Review, by Matt Collar: "We never get a real sense of what made these recordings so different or revolutionary.

[Rating: 1 out of 4].
The Boston Globe: Cadillac Records - Review, by Ty Burr: "It's a hell of a story, and Cadillac Records wants to tell it so badly that it threatens to warp the narrative out of recognition." [Rating: 2.5 out of 4] (December 5, 2008).
USA Today: Cadillac Records - Review, by Claudia Puig: "The film features too little about Berry (an engaging Mos Def), who crosses over to great fame." [Rating: 2.5 out of 4] (December 4, 2008).
