The Evening Standard gives Sweeney Todd a perfect five out of five stars, dubbing the film "Sweeney the Spectacular" and calling it "just about perfect." With melodies that "tiptoe under our skin and refuse to leave," says the paper, Sweeney brings filmgoers to a "heightened state" that once entered is difficult to let go.

With the film now open in Australia as well, the Melbourne Herald Sun offers his praise for Johnny Depp's successful portrayal of the Demon Barber: "Sondheim's scores are notoriously difficult, yet Depp reveals a remarkable voice and receives fine support from his co-stars ... Depp, typically, leaves all other versions of Todd dead in the water."
