[[Emanuel Levy]] of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' called it "A top-notch production, exuberant period music and Hanks the actor in an important role cunningly disguised a rather slight and inconsequential narrative."<ref>{{cite web |date=September 16, 1996 |last1=Levy |first1=Emanuel |author-link=Emanuel Levy |title=That Thing You Do |url=https://variety.com/review/VE1117905610 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] }}</ref>
[[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' gave it 3 out of 4 and wrote: "The movie may be inconsequential, but in some ways that's a strength. Without hauling in a lot of deep meanings, it remembers with great warmth a time and a place."<ref>{{cite web |date=October 4, 1996 |last=Ebert |first=Roger |author-link=Roger Ebert |title=That Thing You Do! |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/that-thing-you-do-1996 |website=[[Chicago Sun-Times]] }}</ref>
