	Author	Review
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Latest excursion is warmer, wittier, more socially relevant and truer to its TV origins than prior odysseys."	POS
United Kingdom	Stephen Garrett Time Out	"The most enjoyable film of the series so far, also returning to the simplistic morality-play format that gave the original TV series its strength."	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Mr. Nimoy directed this Star Trek installment, and indeed he should probably direct all of them. His technical expertise leaves much to be desired. But his sincerity is unmistakable"	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"A happy, heartfelt chapter that reunites the original cast with the original TV format, shying away from the cold and epic scale of the preceding movie adventures."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This is easily the most absurd of the Star Trek stories -- and yet, oddly enough, it is also the best, the funniest and the most enjoyable in simple human terms (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"An effective and enjoyable sample of entertainment -- not good science fiction, but a lightweight piece of comic fantasy utilizing characters so familiar that they feel like old friends."	POS
