Diamonds Are Forever doesn't carry the same quality or flair as its many predecessors.
Variety Staff, Variety
Rotten
Assorted ladies, a few quick lines, and one good chase, making for a mediocre entry in the series.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

The movie's momentum is such that one never has much time to react to its lack of reason, only to its sensations of speed and narrow escape, and to the splendor of its crazy gadgets and decor.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
