"All About Eve" received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics upon its release on October 13, 1950 at a New York City premiere. The film's competitor, "Sunset Boulevard," released the same year, drew similar praise, and the two were often favorably compared. Film critic Bosley Crowther of "The New York Times" loved the film, stating that "a fine Darryl Zanuck production, excellent music and an air of ultra-class complete this superior satire." "Variety" called it "a literate, adult film" with "exceedingly well-cast performances,"
