		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"What makes 'Critters' more than a ripoff are its humor and its sense of style. This is a movie made by people who must have had fun making it (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Kim Newman Empire	"[It] has fun with its small town setting, but the film is perhaps a little too derivative to pass muster with the best of retro-chic s-f (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Caryn James The New York Times	"[The Critters] look like windup toys (...) Worse, the film's stabs at humor are dull (...) [It] just doesn't make the audience laugh or jump often enough."
		TV Guide	"One of the most enjoyable films of the summer, 'Critters' harks back to the low-budget science fiction films of the 1950s and balances the thrills with heavy doses of humor. (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
