The film's dream sequences are ingenious, and they feature some remarkable nightmare images and special effects.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

While it's better than its predecessor, it's still not quite up to its inspiration.
Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Rotten
This is filmmaking by the numbers, without soul.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
A creepy score and Russell's sure grasp of the skewed logic of nightmares helps to sustain the ambiguity between the 'real' and 'dream' worlds, while Englund's Freddie now fits like a glove.
