Variety Leonard Klady
Purists will find the pic's obviousness disappointing, but there's no question that the film delivers a sufficient shock quotient to satisfy its youthful target audience.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Lacks even the good, guilty setup of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- the sense that the heroes are fleeing the consequences of their own crime.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
A lazy, hasty effort that offers little beyond a few jack-in-the-box startles and a high body count, including Hewitt's bouncing about in a shirt half-unbuttoned over a bikini top.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Ron Wells
It lacks humor. Unlike "Scream", this film is more of a horror-drama, with everybody taking themselves way too seriously.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
More in the dumb and dumber tradition of "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th" sequels.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
There's gore aplenty here, but precious little suspense or terror.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The less you demand of this bloody, by-the-numbers sequel, the more you'll enjoy it.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
If there's a blessing, it's that the sequel isn't appreciably worse than the original - but that's slim praise considering how bad the first one was.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Bob Graham
It's standard slasher fare but has its moments.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Examiner G. Allen Johnson
The best that can be said about this film is that it's watchable, and that's not the way it could or should be.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News David Kehr
Ain't exactly the Bahama Mama of all horror pics. [13 November 1998, p. 56]
USA Today Mike Clark
Suspense takes a vacation in sequel. [13 November 1998, p. 6E]
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Assembles the building blocks of idiot-proof slasher movies: Stings, Snicker-Snacks, false alarms and point-of-view baits-and-switches.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
This 1998 sequel seems almost deliberately designed to disappoint--our enjoyment is supposed to lie in making fun of the obvious red herrings, contrived opportunities to show cleavage, melodramatic dialogue, gullible characters, and inevitable to-be-continued ending.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
It's noisy, it's flashy, and it's deadly dull -- without the goofball, horror-nerd energy of Kevin Williamson, who wrote the first film, this essentially storyless picture, written by Trey Callaway and directed by Danny Gan-non, revolves doggedly around Hewitt's tits.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
An empty, farcical blood bath that's virtually shock-free except for one preposterous plot twist.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
You want REAL terror? If this second outing proves profitable, we'll be looking at Yet Again I Recall the Summer Before the Summer Before Last. Now that's scary.

I enjoyed this sequel. First off, Brandy was in it and I like her, but that's beside the point. Though we obviously know who the killer is, the movie makes up for that with the intriguing plot twists and action scenes. My favorite scene is when a certain somebody jumps over the balcony onto a glass-roofed greenhouse, missing the swinging hook by an inch. Karla was my fav new character and Tyrell added much comic relief and he ribbed Will constantly about being so geeky, and Will shines in the end also. Unlike the first which took place in some rainy, dinky crab-smelling port area(which was GREAT for the original, don't get me wrong), I actually felt at home with these four teens at the Bahamas Hotel. The movie set was secluded and simple with it's lack of excessive characters, not only giving the viewer the opportunity to focus only on the main four and a few small others but also giving Ben Willis more chance to hide and keep his cover, run around, and murder at ease without intrusion, save for a rescue team, but he'll take care of that. People, if you are expecting this to be like Scream which killer's costume allows room for multiple murderers and sequels, don't watch this. This is just good ol' Ben Willis again, but with a new setting, major plot twists that are quite original and don't suck off of the original, and with such interesting main characters, who needs supporting. And the murders...oooh, don't get me started. They beat part one by a mile. The first murder REALLY SUCKS and I mean that in a good way...and a literal one. You totally have to see it.
