Roger Ebert gave the film three stars, saying that it was "wonderful and maddening." Ebert later gave the film four stars and added the film to his "Great Movies" list in 2011. Leonard Maltin, on the other hand, gives the film two stars out of four in his "Movie Guide", writing: "intriguing story draws us in, thanks in part to Osment's exceptional performance, but takes several wrong turns; ultimately, it just doesn't work. Spielberg rewrote the adaptation Stanley Kubrick commissioned of the Brian Aldiss short story 'Super Toys Last All Summer Long'; [the result is a curious and uncomfortable hybrid of Kubrick and Spielberg sensibilities." However, he calls John Williams' music score "striking". Jonathan Rosenbaum compared "A.I." to "Solaris" (1972), and praised both "Kubrick for proposing that Spielberg direct the project and Spielberg for doing his utmost to respect Kubrick's intentions while making it a profoundly personal work." Film critic Armond White, of the "New York Press", praised the film noting that "each part of David's journey through carnal and sexual universes into the final eschatological devastation becomes as profoundly philosophical and contemplative as anything by cinema's most thoughtful, speculative artists – Borzage, Ozu, Demy, Tarkovsky." Filmmaker Billy Wilder hailed "A.I." as "the most underrated film of the past few years." When British filmmaker Ken Russell saw the film, he wept during the ending.
