- 80Village VoiceApril WolfeVillage VoiceApril WolfeMore times than I could count I had no idea what the hell was happening, and also just didn’t care that I didn’t know. Let the Corpses Tan is that strange and beautiful.
- 75The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe A.V. ClubKatie RifeLike "Amer" and "The Strange Color Of Your Body’s Tears," Let The Corpses Tan is fetishistic, kaleidoscopic, and obsessed with the intersection between sex and death.
- It’s a profoundly weird film but hypnotic nonetheless.

- 70Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangLos Angeles TimesJustin ChangLet the Corpses Tan — or, to use its even better French title, “Laissez Bronzer Les Cadavres” — is a feverish, obsessive act of cinematic rehabilitation, a shoot-’em-up conceived in tribute to a peculiar strain of blood-spattered B-movies from the 1960s and ’70s.
- 70We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoWe Got This CoveredMatt DonatoLet The Corpses Tan is a stunning display of visual seduction and slaughter-first gunplay, if not somewhat distracted by a skeletal script that’s been stripped of all meatiness.

- 40The New York TimesManohla DargisThe New York TimesManohla DargisA formalist experiment that soon devolves into a mannerist indulgence.
