Fresh: Grease has got it, from the outstanding animated titles of John Wilson all the way through the rousing finale as John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John ride off into teenage happiness. – Variety Staff, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: What makes it work is its youthful vitality, the tremendous energy and imagination expended on its virtually wall-to-wall song and dance number. – Arthur Knight, Hollywood Reporter, Jun 16, 2015

Wasserman, San Francisco Chronicle, Mar 15, 2013
