The Pittsburgh Press that
Inner Sanctum on TV brought back pleasant memories of listening to the radio version of the series, but the episodes' focus differed from those on radio. "The new, televised
Inner Sanctum no longer deals with the occult", he wrote, "It has abandoned the ghosts of its radio days and decided to go along with the current fascination with neurotic disorders." Nevertheless, he described the episodes as "pretty entertaining yarns." It went on to cite "static camera work" and "the apparent talkiness of each episode", summarizing that a viewer could close his or her eyes and not miss anything from the story. The review added, "the actors seem wooden, the sets phony, and the stories trite." ==References==
