Chicago Sun-Times -
School Ties is surprisingly effective.

Entertainment Weekly -
Playing Mr. Perfect, Brendan Fraser — yes, Encino Man — proves a smart and likable actor, alive to what’s going on around him. Sidney Poitier proved you could keep your integrity even in a role like this, and Fraser does too.

The New York Times -
David's habit of grabbing, berating or otherwise challenging anyone who insults him gives School Ties a muscular quality not usually found in films about this subject.

Time Out London -
More notable perhaps for a roster of future stars and Oscar winners than for its unexceptional plot, this well executed film nevertheless has its charms.

Empire -
The boys put in fine performances but sadly the script lacks the depth of what could have been a challenging story.
