"Adjani is sublime as the tormented young woman, possibly the most unforgettable embodiment of tragic beauty on film."
- Michael Costello, AllMovie.com
"One of the fascinations of the Truffaut career is in watching the way he circles and explores different aspects of the same subjects that dominate almost all of his films. However, 'The Story of Adèle H.,' impeccably photographed by Nestor Almendros ('The Wild Child'), looks and sounds like no other Truffaut film you've ever seen."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
"[A] strange, moody film that belongs very much with the darker side of his [Truffaut's] work."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"Adèle H. is a feat of sustained acuteness, a grand-scale comedy about unrequited love, and it's Truffaut's most passionate work."
- Pauline Kael

"The movie is a supremely humane, sophisticated comedy that is as much fun to watch for the variations Mr. Truffaut works on classic man-woman routines as for the routines themselves."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
"Charming, sophisticated comedy about a bachelor who is obsessed with women and, it turns out, they with him."
- Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide
