"An unashamed study of selfish, sadistic criminality, and all the better for it."
- Tom Huddleston, Time Out
"The dominant mood of the film is anything but funny. It is bleak and futile: What goes up must always come down. When it comes down in Scarface, the crash is as terrifying as it is vivid and arresting."
- Vincent Canby, New York Times
"Painted in exuberant, extravagant swaths of red, Brian De Palma's foolhardy epic is a thing of delirious grandeur."
- Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

"'Carlito's Way,' like 'Scarface,' is first and last a character study, a portrait of a man who wants to be better than he is."
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
"A masterful piece of entertainment anchored by an interesting story and fine performances and hoisted by an intoxicating field of vision that nevertheless, maintains a sharply focused perspective."
- Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
"'Carlito's Way' is best watched as lively, colorful posturing and as a fine demonstration of this director's bravura visual style."
- Janet Maslin, New York Times
