Kyle Buchanan, The New York Times: "It remains to be seen whether Swift will star in her feature directorial debut, but “The Eras Tour” still supplies her with some much-needed big-screen juice. A fun presence in her biggest numbers, like the bouncy “Shake It Off” and rocking “Look What You Made Me Do,” Swift is even more appealing in acoustic numbers that trade busy choreography for simple guitar playing."

Katie Campione, Deadline: "Even if you have been treated to the live show, The Eras Tour still gives everyone in the audience a chance to experience every song from the best seat in the house. You’ll get up close and personal with Swift and also see sweeping shots that put the stage’s stunning visuals on full display."

Melissa Ruggieri, USA TODAY: "Among the performances, "Look What You Made Me Do" sizzles. The detailed shots of the various Swift incarnations in glass cases spotlights the intricacy of the number, while Swift is in her snarling, sexy glory as the camera whirls around her."

Kevin EG Perry, NME: "It’s a staggering feat. In the space of one seamless performance, Swift is at turns a playfully eccentric artist, a country star and a genuine pop icon. Yet for all the spectacle, it might be those acoustic songs that linger longest in the memory."

Chris Willman, Variety: "Much of the movie matches the kind of footage already seen up on the huge LED screens during the concerts; after all, there was already a crew there practically making a movie every night on the tour, even before Wrench’s own team came in. He and cinematographer Brett Turnbull don’t avoid the obvious shots, but they also have some wrinkles up their sleeves that startle you out of any sense you’re just watching those concert screens redux."

Lina Das, Telegraph: "The film itself is as pulsating and slick as you’d expect of any Taylor Swift production, taking the audience on a whirlwind tour of around 40 songs from her 10 studio albums, including hits such as Shake It Off and, a particular audience favourite, the 10-minute All Too Well. Unless you’re a devoted fan, concert films can be a rather dreary experience but the sheer spectacle and energy of the her film is enough to convert even the most rabid anti-Swiftite."
