jack slater of "the new york times" was positive, writing, "to be black and to watch 'cooley high' is to see one's vanished innocence—and beauty." slater acknowledged that the movie was being hailed as "a black "american graffiti"" but he thought "cooley high" had "far more vitality and variety" than that film. gene siskel of the "chicago tribune" gave the film 3.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that the opening 10 minutes "leave you with the impression that 'cooley high' is going to be nothing more than a series of routine and unfunny gags. but then the film's magic begins to work, and 'cooley high' turns into a beguiling story that's affecting, lasting, and worth seeing more than once." arthur d. murphy of "variety" called it "a heartening comedy-drama" with "a fine cast of young players" that were "well directed by michael schultz," adding that "you don't have to be black to enjoy it immensely." kevin thomas of the "los angeles times" called it "a landmark movie, one of the year's most important and heartening pictures, that shows what the black film can be when creative talents are given an opportunity free of the strong sex and violence requirements of the exploitation formulae." jacqueline trescott of "the washington post" was not so impressed, calling the film's nostalgia "deja vu and hackneyed, antiseptic even." she found several comic scenes to be "[w]ell-executed ... but these passages still lack a distinctive look and enough fire to raise 'cooley' above the mediocre mark." reviewing "cooley high" for "the monthly film bulletin" in 1977, jonathan rosenbaum said that "michael schultz's first feature can be viewed with hindsight as the promising debut of a very talented director, intermittently doing what he can with an uneven and somewhat routine script."
