With another numerous films, Spellbound appropriated the medical, legal and literary tales of hypnotic crime.[4] Oscar Cooper, in his review for Motion Picture News, doesn't bother to comment the story and acting and he offers some praise for the lighting and photography.[5] The Salt Lake Tribune claimed that the fantastic story did not preclude at least one nod to reality.[6]
