United States | USA Today | "Deception is not the cool, noirish thriller it tries to be. Despite a cast (...) the film is a yawn. (...) the decadence and intrigue devolve into a preposterous turn of events. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEG |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Mildly titillating, but not very good. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" | NEU |

United States | The New York Times | "A would-be erotic thriller with no heat and zero chills" | NEG |
United States | AV Club | "From the nondescript title on down, 'Deception' is a movie made to be forgotten." | NEG |
