Critical reception

Godfrey Cheshire of Variety magazine wrote, "If few films offer such rich human material in such succinct, balanced, nonpolemical form, fewer still are timely enough to serve as ideal conversation pieces for young women facing similar situations. Wagner and Di Feliciantonio's doc could prove as useful as it is intelligent."[2]

The film won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Prize for Documentary in 1997.[3] It was later aired on the PBS series POV. In 1997, Girls Like Us also took home a News and Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding Cultural Programming.[4]
