Gillian Flynn · Entertainment Weekly 75.00/100.00

As much fun as the adventure is, the central mystery — what happened in that motel on that May date that created such cosmic blowback — is never truly explained.

Linda Stasi · New York Post 75.00/100.00

Bizarrely complicated and intriguing.

Robert Abele · L.A. Weekly 70.00/100.00

And while the quest story has the inevitable whiff of The Lord of the Rings about it... the episodes almost feel more like sci-fi Hitchcock than anything else.

Jonathan Storm · Philadelphia Inquirer 60.00/100.00

It's a supernatural mystery, involving a few ghosts, a little time travel and lots of crazy people. People who have been missing The X-Files might really go for The Lost Room.

Verne Gay · Newsday 60.00/100.00

"Lost Room" is a shaggy dog story that gets shaggier with every scene. It's a tale as tall as the Empire State Building that threatens to topple in the merest breeze but - miraculously - never does.

Mike Duffy · Detroit Free Press 80.00/100.00

A terrific, six-hour miniseries, beautifully written and sharply directed.

David Hinckley · New York Daily News 75.00/100.00

A very complex metaphysical mystery, the enjoyment of which comes, in no small part, from the surprises that spill out as it slowly unfurls.

Variety 70.00/100.00

Strange and clever, "The Lost Room" is full of winding corridors, peculiar twists and wry, oddball humor, set against a mystery that recalls TV's better Stephen King productions.

Barry Garron · The Hollywood Reporter 60.00/100.00

Maybe the best thing about this miniseries is the weird assortment of characters.

Robert Lloyd · Los Angeles Times 60.00/100.00

A long ride to nowhere but with some nice scenery and exciting turns along the way.
