Leo Gregory's performance as Jones fails to capture his rebel charisma, and the film, like its subject, winds up all wet, floating without direction, and lifeless.

Even The Doors looked like a model of clarity next to this.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Rotten
A flat riff on Jones's short life. You'll get the highlights but no sense of what made him special -- or what really haunted him.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
Almost so bad it's good. Almost.
Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Played with such an utter lack of charisma by Leo Gregory, Jones comes across as a rocker so drug- and ego-addled he doesn't have enough sense to lie down.
John Anderson, Newsday
