Goatdog's Movies
Room at the Top... signals a bold and personal directional talent in Jack Clayton as well as a rare departure in British film-making.

Monthly Film Bulletin
Room at the Top, a British production banned in Saskatchewan, treated sex and several other universal human relationships with a power and honesty far removed from the sleazy hypocrisy of the gimmick-shows.

Maclean's Magazine
4 stars out of 5 -- Harvey's screen persona makes him ideal for Joe, but it is Signoret that steals the film, giving an Oscar-winning performance as his lover, Alice Aisgill.
Total Film
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]he political aspects of Neil Paterson's Oscar-winning script still cut as deeply as Freddie Francis' gritty vistas and Simone Signoret's superb display...
Empire
Harvey impresses, but it's Signoret, giving one of her career best performances, who shines.
