Reviews and Ratings from Rotten Tomatoes:

"The film is as tender and endearing as a lamb, a lamb at rest in a fragrant atmosphere. It's a film that has a determined, unironic respect for things past," wrote Kyle Smith from the New York Post.

"A sweeping romance beautifully wrapped in classy couture and slightly suspect in the way it uses metaphysics to manipulate matters of the heart," wrote Betsey Sharkey from the Los Angeles Times.

"Leave it to Harrison Ford to pull off a rescue that one of his signature heroes might envy. In a deftly crafted supporting role, Ford does as much as Lively herself to shape Adaline's strange predicament into something genuinely resonant," wrote Tom Russo from the Boston Globe.

"The Age of Adaline is a modern romantic fairy tale set in San Francisco, marred by bad narration and an unnecessary desire to overexplain random magic," critiqued Rene Rodriguez from the Miami Herald.

"A preposterous premise treated with great solemnity. Lively shines, though, as does Ford," wrote Rafer Guzman from Newsday.
