Reception

[edit]

Ramin Zahed of Variety gave the film a mixed review, stating: "Watching the sentimental telepic "The Color of Love: Jacey’s Story," feels a lot like visiting your grandma and eating her homemade pie. The experience is terribly predictable, but you go through with it, because of the comfort it offers."[1]

For her performance, Gena Rowlands was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.[2] The film was also nominated for two Satellite Awards: one for Gossett Jr. in the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Miniseries or a Motion Picture Made for Television, and one for Rowlands in the category of Best Performance by an Actress in a Miniseries or a Motion Picture Made for Television.[3]
