- 60Film ThreatStina ChynFilm ThreatStina ChynThe cast is genuine in their emotions, the film depicts them that way, and the camera doesn’t feel compelled to go hand-held crazy--which is refreshing.
- 50L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyL.A. WeeklyErnest HardyBut Walking, which is well-acted and fast-moving, takes a tumble from which it never fully recovers once Josh's diary is found, and the rest of the film is spent tending to spilled secrets and their collateral damage.

- 25New York Daily NewsJack MathewsNew York Daily NewsJack MathewsEarnest but practically unwatchable movie. I haven't spent an hour and a half with worse company since high school detention.
- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickA tediously self-absorbed variation on "The Big Chill" and "The Return of the Secaucus 7."
- 20Village VoiceVillage Voice"School Ties" heartthrob Randall Batinkoff and the rest of the cast make do with wooden lines and a plot that fails to jell.
- A modern-day "Big Chill" wannabe without the subtlety, humor, memorable soundtrack, strong performances or convincing dialogue.
- 10Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustCarl T. Evans' tedious drama Walking on the Sky serves primarily as an acting exercise for its cast and a showcase for its primary location, a scenic Manhattan rooftop.
- 10The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckA dreary indie ensemble drama about six thirtysomethings coping with the emotional aftermath of their friend's suicide, the ultra-talky and static Walking on the Sky would barely pass muster as an Off-Off-Broadway offering.
