"Summer Of '42" is an unforgettable meditation on sexual awakening and loss during WWII.
ColeSmithey.com
The interaction between Grimes and his teenage co-stars - the sharp, crude Houser and the more innocent Conant - is engaging, and the spare, uncluttered soundtrack is recompense for Mulligan's overblown visuals.

One of the cinematic coming-of-age stories that started a trend.
Movie Metropolis
Summer of '42 has a large amount of charm and tenderness; it also has little dramatic economy and much eye-exhausting photography which translates to forced and artificial emphasis on a strungout story.

Rating: 3/4 --
People who actually recall 1942 will more greatly appreciate the waves of nostalgia that bathe this affectionate coming-of-age drama, set on a tiny island off New England.

Rating: 3/5 --
Nostalgic coming-into-manhood fantasy.
Kansas City Kansan
It forever misses, unlike American Graffiti, the heady sexual climate of adolescence to concentrate on the circumstances of the sex act itself.
