| The Citizen Peter Feldman  There is nothing remotely creatively crazy to be found in Obsessed. | 8 | |

| Rolling Stone Peter Travers I'd call this stenchcloud Fatal Attraction meets The Temp, but that would insult those movies. | 8 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Essentially just an updated version of Fatal Attraction without the interesting characters, true suspense and/or interesting subtext (even with the mixed racial element that's present), the film takes forever to play out. | 6 | |
| Metacritic.com 12 critics | 5 | |
| Rottentomatoes critics 78 critics | 7 | |
| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer The inevitable Fatal Attraction comparisons aside, Obsessed is a generic, toothless thriller both instantly predictable and instantly forgettable. | 4 | |
