Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
No one is better at this kind of performance than Nicolas Cage. He's a fearless actor. He doesn't care if you think he goes over the top. If a film calls for it, he will crawl to the top hand over hand with bleeding fingernails.

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Bad Lieutenant doesn't go where you expect, but it has a stubborn, trippy logic.

Chicago Reader - J.R. Jones
Herzog deserves the lion's share of the credit for the movie's quality, but Port of Call New Orleans is also a comeback for Cage.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - Ray Bennett
There is a lot of very black humor; and it develops, somewhat surprisingly, into something suggesting a kind of cheerful pessimism.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Comparisons to the original Bad Lieutenant are unnecessary; Port of Call New Orleans can stand - and fall - on its own merits, inconsistent though they may be.
