===Critical response===
Reviews have generally been positive. ''[[The Victoria Advocate]]'' wrote an enthusiastic review saying "Prepare to have your mind blown. To put it into perspective, imagine watching a documentary about [[Led Zeppelin]] and discovering their music at the very same time.  Once you become acquainted with the harmonious vocals and infectious hooks delivered by the Colorado folk group the sounds of [[Crosby, Stills & Nash]] and [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]] come to mind.  Magic Music had the potential to go all the way so it’s such a tragedy that these guys never became a household name. Thanks to Aronsohn the rest of the world can get a taste of the sounds that drove the filmmaker to bring the band's story to prominence 42 years after they called it quits."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.victoriaadvocate.com/blogs/staff/flix/review-years-in-the-making-the-magic-music-movie-exposes/article_567145b0-98fb-11e8-943f-1bd092519877.html|title=Review: '40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie' exposes audiences to one of the greatest undiscovered bands|work=Victoriaadvocate.com|date=August 5, 2018}}</ref>

''[[Film Journal International|Film Journal]]'' said "the documentary has long ceased to be just about the band but about something eternal. Yes, time can heal wounds both real and perceived. But with even more time, there's more than healing. After enough time you have the perspective to look back on certain youthful friends and realize you have something in common with them as with virtually no one else: You survived. The fires you both experienced didn't burn you to death—and almost no one else knows what it was like to survive those particular fires. There is magic in this film's ode to growing old and being with the people who knew us young."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.filmjournal.com/reviews/film-review-40-years-making-magic-music-movie|title=Film Review: 40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie|work=Filmjournal.com|date=August 1, 2018|access-date=August 5, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180805125036/http://www.filmjournal.com/reviews/film-review-40-years-making-magic-music-movie|archive-date=August 5, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> and Tony Medley describing it thus in ''The Larchmont Chronicle'', "Told with personal interviews with all the band members of a 1970s Colorado band that didn't make it, along with clips of their music, archival videos, and stills, it is a captivating tale."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tonymedley.com/2018/40_Years_in_the_Making_The_Magic_Music_Movie.htm|title=40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie (8/10)|work=Tonymedley.com}}</ref>
