Q (4/96, p.109) - 3 Stars - Good - "Michael Mann films are notable for their high-quality soundtracks. HEAT is no exception..."
New York Times (Publisher) (2/11/96, Sec.2, p.30) - "...an artfully assembled montage of industrial rock, darkly romantic symphonics and moody jazz guitar, evokes a nightmarish Los Angeles of dashed hopes and soiled glamour..."
