United Kingdom | Time Out | "It's not the greatest of Christmas treats, but does have enough cherishable moments" | NEU |
United States | AV Club | "If it’s all more than a bit silly, not to mention derivative, Krull manages to cast a fantastical spell courtesy of Peter Yates’ direction." | POS |

United States | Newsweek | "Under the tone-deaf direction of Peter Yates, Krull manages to be both lavishly overdone and bizarrely half-baked" | NEG |
United States | Variety | "Professionalism of director Peter Yates, the large array of production and technical talents and, particularly, the mainly British actors keep things from becoming genuinely dull or laughable." | NEU |
