Try to view this tale of a siren's song as something chewier than a cover version of Hitch's greatest hits, and what's left is a facile take on l'amour fou.
David Fear, Time Out New York

Truffaut's frequently overlooked eighth feature isn't kid stuff.
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice

It defies easy definition and blithely triumphs over what initially appears to be structural schizophrenia. It is the creation of a superior moviemaker who works eccentrically in the classical tradition.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
One of the director's weakest films.
