	Author	Review
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"Much as jazz does, 'Night on Earth' transforms the commonplace into something haunting, mysterious and newly true"	POS
United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"It feels like a tired exercise unto itself. Jarmusch has stated that one of his aims is to include in his movies what others would exclude. As 'Night on Earth"' demonstrates, that approach doesn't always ensure success."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Jarmusch is a poet of the night (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"An agreeably flaky comedy built around a surefire hook"	POS
