Chicago-Sun Times
In "Just Like Heaven," a man falls in love with a woman only he can see. She's not a ghost, because she's not dead, but a spirit. Why is she visible only to him? Perhaps because he has moved into her apartment. In a movie like this there is no logical reason for such matters.
Roger Ebert
ReelViews
With Just Like Heaven, director Mark Waters wants to have his cake and eat it to. That's not necessarily a bad thing, until you consider that the recipe used for this confection is missing a few ingredients and the final product is half-baked. And, rather than eating it, he kind of chokes on it. Just Like Heaven tries to be an unholy union of Ghost and All of Me, and the result is rarely humorous, rarely romantic, and rarely affecting.
James Berardinelli
The Boston Globe
Nonetheless, "Just Like Heaven" suggests that a post-coma Elizabeth might understand what life is truly all about. Of course, if being alive means having to live in this movie, maybe she was better off the way she was.

It's hard to imagine much new in the realm of ghost movies. We've had dramas, comedies, romance, and of course more than our share of ghost related horror. Just Like Heaven is savvy enough to know that, even make fun of it, but it's unwilling to take a step outside it's carefully defined rom-com parameters to do more than nod in passing at the played out nature of the boy meets ghost genre.
