Reception
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]
