[5] The album received universal acclaim, with Metacritic giving it a score of 87% from 7 reviews.[6] The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars, stating, "For those interested in one of the more compelling and quietly provocative and graceful guitar records of 2010, Silent Movies is well worth seeking out".[2] PopMatters correspondent Will Layman said, "Marc Ribot really ought to have the opportunity to score films more often, because the results can be breathtaking".[3] Rolling Stone's Will Hermes observed, "he indulges the yearning melodic sensibility that hides hooks in even his noisiest recordings, and increasingly defines his playing".[4]
