Visually speaking, the film does pretty well with fire-as-spectacle, less well with everything else (Howard tends to trot out fuzzy-toned Spielbergian backlighting on any pretext).

Chicago Reader
"Backdraft" is a spectacle worth observing; it may also generate a little more respect for firemen, everyday heroes who don`t need the movies to polish their image.

Manipulative? Yes. But damn, citywide funerals, a cranked score, and some Baldwin blue steel redemption poses clears away any irksome storytelling dissatisfaction.

Backdraft has some of the raw filmmaking excitement that has been missing from Howard's recent work.

...a top-notch thriller trapped within a poorly-paced and needlessly bloated piece of work...

Backdraft truly shows us fire the way we've never seen it before.

Rating: 3/4 --
Ron Howard's film is one of smoke-eaters, crispers, and torches... and it bestows a renewed respect on a profession all too often taken for granted.
