| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThe movie is simple, small and exudes a certain throwback charm. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellThe story gets a tad too busy at times, but visually Phantom Boy is delightful, cloaked in the same imagination as director Jean-Loup Felicioli's and Alain Gagnol's previous Oscar-nominated animation, A Cat in Paris. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneAnders WrightIts story might be all too familiar, and on the whole it doesn't carry a great deal of weight, but "Phantom Boy" has a real humanity to it that is often hard to find in today's cinematic offerings. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniPhantom Boy will appeal to children who have the patience and imagination to immerse themselves in the film's wiggly animation. |

| Georgia StraightKen EisnerKids won't be bothered by the throwback stuff, and most grownups will enjoy the lovingly crafted images of a mythical city at night. |
| HeyUGuysGloria Daniels-MossThere is more than enough for the adults in the audience to bite off and chew - perhaps one or two will find it hard to fight back the tears at times, as well as the chortles which will undoubtedly escape on occasion. |
| Arizona RepublicBill Goodykoontz"Phantom Boy" is a quiet, peaceful little animated film, arriving just in time as a salve for a noisy, angry world. |
