| Cape Argus / The Star Theresa Smith  Afflek's unaffected, down and dirty flick | 15 |  |
| Cape Times | 10 |  |
| Box Office Pete Hammond A must-see if EVER there was one. | 18 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 15 | |
| eye Weekly Jason Anderson While it all makes for an above-average Hollywood crime story, The Town is ultimately more mouth than muscle. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli Compared to other, recent crime dramas, this one stands higher not only because of the quality of the performances but because of the nuances evident in the characters. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Little of it's new, but it's all handled quite capably and then some, meaning you won't feel robbed of your time and/or money by watching it. Let's just hope Ben feels the same way and keeps making movies set in Beantown. | 12 |  |
