Critic Bosley Crowther of "The New York Times" called the film a "tense and exciting exercise". He said Hitchcock was a director whose work has "a maximum of carefully tricked deception and incidents to divert and amuse." Crowther also notes the film exposes many aspects of the loneliness of city life. "Time" magazine said there is "never an instant ... when director Hitchcock is not in minute and masterly control of hismaterial." "Variety" said the film "combines technical and artistic skills in a manner that makes this an unusually good piece of murder mystery entertainment." In 1997, Rear Window was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.
