3/4
"The Pirate takes place in some Caribbean of the mind, with lots of shadows and lace and high mantillas, and it's all about the promise of sex; the film keeps tapping into a nervous, adolescent sort of fear and desire."  Slant Magazine  Dan Callahan

C+
"All told it's an enjoyable work, albeit one of the director's minor films."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

7/10
"...it does a lot better with its singing, dancing, and staging than it does with its acting, characterizations, and storytelling."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"Visually creative musical"  Classic Film and Television  Michael E. Grost

"The Pirate may not have the best Cole Porter score, or the finest of the famed "Minnelli touch," but taken on its own without paying attention to its tortuous backstory, it can prove to be fun despite its fall-short artistic reach."  DVDTalk.com  Paul Mavis
