I would love the film more if the film didn't love itself so much.
Ben Lyons, At the Movies

What makes the film work in spite of itself is [director] Sollett's sympathy for his characters and the teamwork between Cera and Dennings, whose winsome sultriness seems entirely unaffected.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

Like Before Sunrise or the lovely karaoke-bar sequence at the center of Lost in Translation, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist captures the excitement of exploring a city with someone you barely know and really, really like.

There's not much reality or intellect to be found.
