James Berardinelli: Review for Airheads (1994). In: ReelViews. 1994, abgerufen am 6. Juni 2017 (englisch): „Observing how fertile the field of heavy metal music is for satire, it's disappointing to watch Airheads bumble around, desperately trying to find something funny to say. Even sadder is the continuing nosedive of director Michael Lehmann's once-promising career. It's hard to believe that this is the same man who brought us the delicious black comedy Heathers (then again, he was also responsible for HudsonHawk).“
