Slant Magazine -
A bald rehash of Jaws, only with the Moby Dick elements played up even further, Orca isn’t a cheap thrill (producer Dino Di Laurentiis was also the man behind the idiotic-but-exhilarating King Kong remake), but it sure does seem like it’s in a rush to finish.

The New York Times -
If it were medically possible to overdose on claptrap, Orca would be compelled to carry a warning from the Surgeon General.

|
Time Out -
There is some startling footage, but Anderson's direction dithers perceptibly, and finally opts for an unpleasant mish-mash of phony ecological concern and meretricious sensationalism. The ultimate indignity the beast suffers is to become a simple extension of Harris' threadbare macho image.

Variety -
Orca is man-vs-beast nonsense. Some fine special effects and underwater camera work are plowed under in dumb story-telling.

TV Guide Magazine -
Dino De Laurentiis' attempt to cash in on the popularity of JAWS is a total failure.
