For all its simplicity, however, the film is entertaining, even uplifting, with Lopez giving a stellar, confectionary performance.Full Review

Selena succeeds, through Lopez's performance, in evoking the magic of a sweet and talented young woman.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

This is a simple story of hope and triumph, of one girl with the drive to succeed defying the odds and following her dream. It's not an original tale -- movies like this abound -- but Nava's point-of-view is fresh. Full Review

The film's many musical scenes can be riveting. But Selena is less concert film than family drama, particularly focusing on Selena's struggles with her father after she falls in love with, and eventually marries, her guitarist Chris Perez (heartthrob Jon Seda).Full Review

Washington Post

Selena is in part a completely predictable Latino soap opera that should satisfy those who complain they aren't making movies like they like used to.Full Review
