	Author	Review
United States	M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"It will take a healthy amount of inner dexterity and strength not to utilize Netflix’s new fast-forwarding policy during 'The Sleepover' (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"Trish Sie’s film resembles the Spy Kids movie series – but with a bit more polish, a little less tech and extra fart jokes (...) Good-hearted and fun (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Canada	Barry Hertz The Globe and Mail	"A giddy and fitfully amusing mashup of 'Adventures in Babysitting,' 'Date Night,' the Spy Kids franchise and, um, 'Wet Hot American Summer' (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A family-friendly action-comedy fit for the entire clan, but never ambitious enough to break out of its strictly set tropes."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"Derivative even by the undemanding standards of its genre"	NEG
United States	John Serba Decider	"[It] is wholly watchable. It’s not exactly memorable or original, but you could do way worse."	POS
United States	Kyle Turner The New York Times	"As 'The Sleepover' juggles the genres of heist movie, action thriller, scavenger hunt and teen/tween comedy, it never finds an identity which it slips into effortlessly, the way a good thief can."	NEG
