- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertLogan's Run is a vast, silly extravaganza that delivers a certain amount of fun, once it stops taking itself seriously.
- 70The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyLogan's Run is less interested in logic than in gadgets and spectacle, but these are sometimes jazzily effective and even poetic. Had more attention been paid to the screenplay, the movie might have been a stunner.
- 70IGNIGNTaken for what it is, Logan's Run delivers a fun ride and a glimpse at another era, even if it's probably not the time frame the producers had in mind.
- 60EmpireIan NathanEmpireIan NathanA sci-fi which balances big themes and claustrophobic action with apparent ease.

- 50NewsweekJack KrollNewsweekJack KrollSince this isn't one of your deep-think sci-fi movies, you look for the happy hardware to get you kicks. [4 July 1976, p.102]
- 40Time OutTime OutThe lavish production has some good effects sequences, but its plot is as corny as the dreadful lurex drape costumes and Jerry Goldsmith's slushy score. Fundamentally, this is just further proof of Hollywood's untiring ability to reduce all science fiction to its most feeble stereotypes.
- 20Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrA numbing combination of sloppy writing, vulgar art direction, high school acting, and bungled special effects—in short, par for the course for venerable hack Michael Anderson.
