The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney summed up the mood when he called Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark a "clunky reworking".
Ben Brantley from the New York Times said that the show had gone "from jaw-dropping badness to mere mediocrity".
The score, by U2's Bono and the Edge, also got a panning. Entertainment Weekly said the show's numbers were "a mostly lacklustre collection of forgettable tunes".

Writing in the Guardian, Michael Billington said the show was "genuinely theatrical," although he was disappointed with the score. He also praised the performances, in particular that of Nigel Harman, whom he said stole the show as the evil Farquaad.
