Reception A review wrote: "As per its noir pedigree, The Last Lullaby peppers the tale with colorful characters and familiar faces (including excellent aging character actors like Bill Smitrovich and Jerry Hardin, doing yeoman’s work as those immoral top-of-the-food-chain characters deviously pulling their strings).”
Another review praised the lead actor and direction: ”Tom Sizemore as the lead carries the movie very effectively. Goodman give scenes time to build, allowing Sizemore’s fidgetiness, twitching and somber gaze to accentuate the character’s melancholy. ”
