The A.V. Club
With its bittersweet romance and air of tragic empowerment, Now, Voyager represents the pinnacle of the woman's picture.

Empire
A classic of the weepy genre so have some toilet roll handy.

Slant Magazine
Now, Voyager is the stuff of young lovers and hare-brained idealists, and if it can feel pretty foolish at times, it’s unforgettable for how sincere and affectionate it is toward one particularly time-honored cliché: that only fools falls in love.

Los Angeles Times
A high-grade Bette Davis soap opera that finds her playing a repressed Boston spinster rescued by her suave psychiatrist (Paul Henried, who figures in the film's famous cigarette-lighting scene). [18 Dec 1988, p.5]

Time Out
The women's weepie angle gets to be a bit of a slog later on, but it is all wrapped up as a mesmerically glittering package by Rapper's direction, Sol Polito's camerawork, and Max Steiner's lushly romantic score.

Now, Voyager may not have the fine balance of some of Davis’ best films—Jezebel is probably the place to go for that—but it’s still, in its stronger moments, a fine showcase for an iconic actress.

The New York Times
For all its emotional hair-splitting, it fails to resolve its problems as truthfully as it pretends. In fact, a little more truth would have made the film a good deal shorter.

La manipulación no permite la libertad. Es una película bastante valiente, ya que muestra una realidad bastante ignorada incluso hasta el día de hoy, la cual se refiere primero a los hijos no deseados. Ya sea por irresponsabilidad o por otras causas, es algo que afecta tanto a los padres como al hijo, pero mucho más profundo es la manipulación de los padres hacia los hijos, muchas veces de forma inconsciente o consciente. Tras la sobreprotección, creamos niños que no pueden vivir una vida en la que ellos tomen sus decisiones, sino que obligamos a que sigan las nuestras, lo que provoca un odio o repulsión por su realidad y, muchas veces, cometan errores que se pudieron haber evitado con la libertad necesaria. Es algo que parece que no es tan importante o relevante, pero la crianza, especialmente en la niñez, es de suma importancia para crear adultos funcionales. La excusa es que no se enseña para padres, pero al igual que hacemos con el trabajo o con el estudio cuando queremos hacer las cosas bien, averiguamos, indagamos, damos un poco más de nosotros, cosa que en la maternidad o paternidad nunca hacemos nada más, y me incluyo aunque no tenga hijos.
