Entertainment Reviews:
Ultimately, the film amounts to little more than a consummate study of suspense technique, all dressed up with nowhere to go.

Rating: 3/4 --
DePalma is not yet an artist of Hitchcock's stature, but he does earn the right to a comparison.

Chicago Sun-Times
Originality has never been a high value in the genre-bound aesthetic of filmmaking, but De Palma cheapens what he steals.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A lurid film featuring throat-slashing, overheated lust, and a too-simple reduction of cross-dressing issues for pulpy purposes. But it also uses grand cinematic gestures to relay the dread and guilt of its characters to great effect.

Despite some major structural weaknesses, the cannily manipulated combination of mystery, gore and kinky sex adds up to a slick commercial package.

Variety
The film has a promising beginning. However, as the story develops, it turns more implausible and superficial... arriving at an ending that adds nothing. [Full Review in Spanish]

Dressed to Kill finds an ultimate shame and gravitational fatalism in performed sexual desire.

The Film Stage
Product Description:
Super sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone) investigates the deaths of two random individuals--including Dr. Watson's old friend Julian "Stinky" Emery (Edmond Breon)--found murdered after purchasing identical music boxes from an auction house in London. Tracing the items back to a prison inmate who stole a series of printing plates from the Bank of England, Holmes begins to suspect the music boxes reveal a secret code to the hidden loot's whereabouts. It's a nailbiting race against time as Holmes tangles with a murderous gang led by the formidable Hilda Courtney (Patricia Morison) in his attempt to recover the last of the three boxes and decipher its hidden secrets. DRESSED TO KILL marks the 14th and final time Rathbone would star as the master detective.
