| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaUma pequena pérola que faz jus ao filme no qual foi inspirada. |
| CinenganosAlex RamirezUna de esas que gustan cada vez más, a medida que se ve y se vuelve a ver. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinCity of Angels is the sort of compromised movie that could have been almost good, but decided to be a great big hit instead. |
| VarietyEmanuel LevyThe endlessly resourceful Nicolas Cage, as a celestial angel, and a terrifically engaging Meg Ryan, as a pragmatic surgeon, create such blissful chemistry that they elevate the drama to a poetic level seldom reached in a mainstream movie. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickNot a typical Hollywood movie. It is beautifully filmed in lush colors by cinematographer John Seale, whose sweeping aerial shots and golden lighting make Los Angeles into an almost unrecognizable new world. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesManages to update [Wings of Desire] so that the freshness and passion still exist within the characters and the story. It is a triumph of conception, camera movements, and emotional feelings. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoA stand-out romantic fantasy and surefire hit of Ghost-ly proportions. But all you cynical and smart-arsed brethren, beware: this is definitely not for you. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyThough far from a seamless work, the film is gorgeously crafted, and Silberling obviously has a passion for angels. But then these days, who doesn't? |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliI suspect City of Angels is going to remind many viewers of Ghost, but there's a big difference: this film is more true and less manipulative. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAn odd hybrid but a successful one. It marries the lyricism and heavy atmosphere of a European art film with the soaring spirit of a Hollywood love story. |
