The New York Times critic Vincent Canby liked this movie. He said it was "a contemporary fantasy about a 1950s teenage musical - a larger, funnier, wittier, and more imaginative-than-Hollywood movie with a life all its own." Regarding the two leads, he said "Olivia Newton-John, the recording star in her American film debut, is simultaneously very funny and utterly charming as the film's ingenue, a demure, virginal Sandra Dee-type. She possesses true screen presence, as well as a sweet, sure singing voice." and "John Travolta, as Miss Newton-John's co-star, a not so malevolent gang-leader, is better than he was in Saturday Night Fever (1977)." He called the love duet performed by Newton-John and Travolta at the finale "a breathless new number". He also said "'Grease' stands outside the traditions it mimics. Its sensibility is not tied to the past, but to a free-wheeling, well informed, high-spirited present."
