Chicago Tribune Dave Kehr
Charlie, who owes an obvious debt to Chuck Jones' Wile E. Coyote, comes equipped with one of the most expressive faces in cartoon history: Bluth keeps his features-ears, snout, mouth, eyes-in constant flux, a beautiful blend of line and volume that represents the pinnacle of the animator's art. [17 Nov 1989]
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
There is a lot of individualism in this movie, both in the filmmaking and in the characters.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Staff (Not Credited)
The animation, courtesy of Don Bluth's studio, is exceptional, and some fine musical moments are provided by Melba Moore.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
Despite overlength, this acceptable outing has its moments, most of them in the second half. [17 Nov 1989]
The New York Times Janet Maslin
The appeal of character and story line here is thoroughly overshadowed by the various technical feats involved in bringing the film to the screen.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
All Dogs Go to Heaven" has the right spirit, and its warmth will offset what for small kids might be some scary moments. But it does seem skimpy and warmed over. [17 Nov 1989]
Washington Post Rita Kempley
With 10 writers gnawing on it, there is little originality left in the story.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Peter Rainer
The animation is of variable quality; the story is a garbled pastiche of "Oliver Twist" and "Little Miss Marker;" the songs, including four by Charles ("Annie") Strouse, are eminently unhummable. [17 Nov 1989]

Keenan S gave it a10:
It was because of the reviews of this phenomenal film that I officially stopped trusting critics. Sure, you can find reasons that it would probably offend parents because it deals with issues such as gambling, drinking, and the mafia, but All Dogs Go To Heaven has a lot of heart to it. There is no reason to miss this astonishing animated film because it's a cult classic and it teaches good moral values (Unlike today's animated garbage). A definite must-see for all ages.
