Seattle Post-Intelligencer
The movie itself is not completely successful, but it's consistently both engrossing and entertaining, and -- once again -- Spacey's performance creates a spell that lingers long after the lights come back on. - 70
Wall Street Journal
When Kevin Spacey takes center stage, our planet really does seem bright. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
I rather like the whole mystic- crystal-revelations aspect of K-PAX, and the idea that even a psychiatrist of Jeff Bridges' handsome, American substantiality is open to notions of cosmic improbability. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Both consoling and confounding. - 50
Los Angeles Times
A pleasant enough entertainment raised above its station by the quality of its acting. - 50
USA Today
As impressive as Kevin Spacey ordinarily is, this isn't the best vehicle for his considerable talents. - 50
Miami Herald
It's all very "Cuckoo's Nest," but in a glib, facile way, and it leaves K-PAX adrift in its fuzzy, New-Agey orbit. - 50
Baltimore Sun
The casting in K-PAX is canny, but the picture as a whole is a clunky mix of the canny and the would-be uncanny.
