What The Naked City does is paint an indelible vision of both the New York City that never sleeps and of the human life and industry that teems within it
Filmcritic.com
Throughout, despite its omniscient, stark melodrama, there has been no sight lost of an element of humor.

Variety
Both a landmark and some sort of masterpiece.

Observer (UK)
A rather overrated police-procedure thriller which has gained its seminal status simply by its accent on ordinariness and by its adherence to the ideal of shooting on location.

Time Out
...Glossily hard-boiled....Local color tends toward the lurid shades... -- Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Realistic, reluctant to sensationalize, it captures the city's hustle and bustle, tracking a murder investigation with detail and humour.
Total Film
A marvelous time capsule of bustling New York just before newfangled TV began keeping folks indoors.
