Chicago Tribune
A typically weak sequel that has no legitimate artistic reason for being. [July 22, 1983] - 38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Stallone's sequel has almost nothing to do with the original film except that it's about dancing; otherwise, it's Rocky IV with legwarmers. [16 Jul 1983] - 25
Boston Globe
Staying Alive, the sequel to John Travolta's "Saturday Night Fever," plays like wet cement. [16 Jul 1983] - 25
Chicago Sun-Times
Staying Alive is a big disappointment. - 20
The New York Times
This one is clumsy, mean spirited and amazingly unmusical. - 20
Variety
The bottom line is that Staying Alive is nowhere as good as its 1977 predecessor, "Saturday Night Fever." - 0
TV Guide Magazine
Ill-conceived, pathetically realized follow-up to "Saturday Night Fever."
