Rosemarie Ute Hoffman (Christian Spotlight) says it's "a compelling biographical drama … that will have you mesmerized due to Jaime Foxx's realistic representation."

Mike Parnell (Ethics Daily) says, "Ray is a wonderful movie, and it reveals the genius of an American original. As a film biopic, some events in his life are necessarily shortchanged, but any omissions don't overshadow the movie."

David Bruce (Hollywood Jesus) says, "The film is the best I have seen this year. It is about hope for the complete integration on life in all areas."

Mainstream critics are singing Ray's praises.

Hal Conklin and Denny Wayman (Cinema in Focus) say the "authentic" film "is worthy of the music which exemplifies his life. Though it can hardly be called 'uplifting' or 'inspirational,' this is a powerful film worthy of telling his life story."
