	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"You have to be in the right mood to enjoy movies like this. Or maybe they put you in the mood. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Danette Chavez AV Club	"Rather than put a new twist on an old tale, 'Love Affair' adds a chapter to a real-life romance."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"This third rendition of a perennial sentimental favorite is easy on the eyes and has its share of beguiling moments in the early going, but crucially lacks a compelling climax and any sense of urgency in its storytelling."	NEU
United States	Seattle Times	"There are moments in Love Affair that take your breath away, sending you back to a time when class and discretion were the movie rule, and not the rarefied exception"	POS
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"Though it is effective in fits and starts, this third version of that sturdy tale never manages to be more than a reasonable facsimile of its progenitor."	NEU
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"What makes Love Affair fun isn't that its stars are offscreen lovers, but that onscreen they so obviously succeed at convincing you they're movie stars playing movie lovers, powering up the dream factory again"	POS
