The New York Times critic Bosley Crowther spent most of the review waxing sarcastic about what he felt was the movie's unbelievable plot ("as wild a piece of fiction as anything Alfred Hitchcock could present") but he did note that the audience was likely to go along with the movie because "it is directed and acted in a taut and vivid way." Variety reviewer Vincent Canby was much kinder. Critics in 1962 had mixed opinions of the film. Other critics: The Manchurian Candidate has a 98 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and Leonard Maltin calls the film "tingling political paranoia" in a 3.5 star review for his Classic Movie Guide.
