The New York Times
Diamonds Are Forever is great, absurd fun, not only because it recalls the moods and manners of the sixties (which, being over, now seem safely comprehensible), but also because all of the people connected with the movie obviously know what they are up to. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
We see different movies for different reasons, and Diamonds Are Forever is great at doing the things we see a James Bond movie for. - 67
Austin Chronicle
Between Plenty O'Toole and Tiffany Case, the diamond smuggler, this film is as over-the-top as they come. - 63
ReelViews
Diamonds Are Forever is plagued with problems. After a promising start, the story devolves into idiocy. - 60
Empire
Connery has a ball with great stunts, snappy dialogue and a bevy of typically Bondish beauties. - 60
Variety
Whatever connection Bond had to the real world has now been severed in favor of delivering the most satisfying possible experience for audiences, such as a throwaway scene of Q using an electromagnetic device to beat the slot machines or allowing homosexual henchmen Wint and Kidd to devise elaborate (and yet easily escapable) traps. - 60
Time Out London
Apart from a clumsy climax, a wry and exhilarating bit of entertainment. - 60
IGN
The action scenes here are just lame, and given the choice between good action and lame story (as we had in You Only Live Twice) and good story and lame action, I'll take the action every time.
