United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"A generic thriller (...) Sheridan lends his role the necessary nuance it deserves and de Armas imbues hers with a wealth of unspoken pain, but neither effort receives its payoff"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The results aren't fully satisfying on any level, despite a terrific cast"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Inert to such a degree that one wonders if the film has been slowed down, 'The Night Clerk' doesn’t really go anywhere (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG

United States	John Serba Decider	"A big, flat dud."	NEG
