- 67The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorYes, Dario Argento’s first film in ten years is pretty fun, for a while—and no, not near his best.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerDark Glasses is never all that scary, and some of it is just plain silly, but if you take it at face value it can be enjoyable enough to sit through — more of a reminder of what Argento used to do best than an example in its own right.
- 50VarietyMichael NordineVarietyMichael NordineWhile it wouldn’t exactly be accurate to say that Dark Glasses was worth waiting a decade for, a world in which Argento continues working till the bitter end is preferable to one in which we don’t have movies like this at all.

- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawDario Argento’s return to directing after a 10-year absence has its moments of macabre and melodramatic invention.
