Insubstantial, predictable and often dull, it's a dismaying move from director Allen Moyle, who displayed a real grasp of pulp energy in 1990's "Pump Up the Volume". Full Review

Variety
A soundtrack in search of a movie, Empire Records is one teen-music effort that never finds a groove. Full Review

The Onion A.V. Club
The film exists for its shots of telegenic youngsters busting loose to a bankable soundtrack, and it's the cheesy dialogue, overstuffed plot, and predictable character arcs that come across as superfluous. Full Review
