Boston Globe
Stone Cold trips up at the end, but it's still recommended for fans of the genre or Road Warrior fans out for a night of cinematic slumming. It snarls, it bites, it roars. [17 May 1992, p.32] - 60
The New York Times
Once the movie gets down to business, the muscle and pyrotechnics take over. The action -- especially the motorcycle chases through the marble government halls -- pack a fairly good visceral charge. - 50
Time Out
Stuntman turned director Baxley piles on the corpses, punch-ups and exploding cars with the passion of a pro in this formulaic action fodder. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
The routinely scripted but kinetic Stone Cold is a throwback to Roger Corman’s Hell’s Angels flicks, in which beer-swilling denim-and-leather-clad freedom riders straddled their Harleys to terrorize the American heartland. - 50
Chicago Tribune
Stone Cold has a basic proficiency, despite some notably awkward edits. Director Craig Baxley paces the story well, and Walter Doniger's script follows the classic formula for the genre: the more evil the villains, the greater hero the star and the more justified the film's gore. [20 May 1991, p.4C] - 50
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
One is inclined to say Stone Cold is unadulterated trash with no pretensions to art - which means that, judged by the criteria of simple- minded action movies, it is not half bad; it delivers its formulaic goods on time and on budget. [17 May 1991] - 50
Miami Herald
Nothing here for the time capsule, make no mistake. But the Boz seems to have found a calling. [21 May 1991, p.C1] - 50
San Francisco Chronicle
The main thing to like about Stone Cold is that the movie is honest enough to have things go wrong -- so wrong, and in ways that are unexpected. [18 May 1991, p.C3]
