- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineA slick, glossy multi-character soap opera set in London's airport.
- 70The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe V.I.P.s is, gratifyingly, a lively, engrossing romantic film cut to the always serviceable pattern of the old multi-character Grand Hotel, and some of the other people in it are even more exciting than the two top stars.
- 70This has suspense, conflict, romance, comedy and drama. Its main fault is that some of the characters and the by-plots are not developed enough. But that is a risk inevitable in any film in which a number of strangers are flung together, each with problems and linked by a single circumstance.
- 50Time OutTime OutThe performances are all reasonably enjoyable, but it's the sort of film the British cinema could well do without.
- Miss Taylor needs something stronger than this to display her talents, and so does Burton.
- It is rubbish, and whereas Taylor’s playing can sometimes redeem utter nonsense, it doesn’t quite manage it here.
