- 80SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirGiven that "Chorus Line" is almost the paradigmatic backstage story, I guess Every Little Step is a meta-backstage story, capturing the "American Idol"-scale audition process.
- 80NPRBob MondelloNPRBob MondelloThe result? A briskly self-aware, thoroughly stage-struck portrait of a theatrical portrait.
- 80Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLos Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt's a can't-miss effort that knows how to please.
- 80The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe New York TimesA.O. ScottThe premise of Every Little Step is no less inspired for seeming so simple and obvious, and it pays tribute to the durability and continued relevance of “A Chorus Line,” which first opened in New York in 1975, before many of the performers in the movie were born.
