Critic Reviews:
- " The Invisible Man Returns is at its best when it is not occupying itself with something it would like you to take seriously. " – Harry MacArthur
- " Stripped of the horror angles of its forerunner, The Invisible Man Returns is a fantastic tale of the impossible – but unfolded in such a manner that it maintains interest throughout despite its basic incredibility. " – Variety Staff
- " The first sequel to the Claude Rains classic, while more modestly scaled than its predecessor, still receives a first-class treatment from director Joe May and, in many instances, surpasses the visual magic of the original. " – Alan Jones
