	Author	Review
United States	Bosley Crowther The New York Times	"Of course, it's nonsense -- pure, escapist bunk, with Bond, an elegant fellow, played by Sean Connery, doing everything (and everybody) that an idle day-dreamer might like to do"	POS
United States	Variety	"An entertaining piece of tongue-in-cheek action hokum"	POS
United States	Dave Kehr Chicago Reader	"All of the elements of the formula are there, but in pleasing moderation."	POS
United Kingdom	Alan Jones Radio Times	"The James Bond series started in great style with this cleverly conceived dose of sheer escapism that, unlike later episodes, remained true to the essence of Ian Fleming's super-spy novels (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"It was unquestionably the closest the movie series has come to capturing the spirit of Fleming's early work (...) Affectionately memorable"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"Looking back with hindsight, one realises the extent to which the later films got bigger but not better, relying on expertise rather than creativity, and reducing film-making to committee decisions."	POS
