Chicago Sun-Times -
The movie contains elements that make it very good, and a lot of other elements besides. Less is more.

Entertainment Weekly -
Sometimes clever and enjoyable, even touching, yet too often the film makes you feel as if you're in Sunday school.

Austin Chronicle -
Meet Joe Black flows nicely, and the whole of the film is bathed in some of the most sumptuous cinematography (courtesy of "Like Water for Chocolate's" Emmanuel Lubezki) of the year.

Ultimately, the movie is a perfect mirror of its star -- looks great, seems empty.

L.A. Weekly -
Meet Joe Black is a hefty three hours long, and just so you know, it is at least two before Claire Forlani, as the Parrish daughter, Susan, unbuttons Pitt's shirt.
