The parents, especially the mother Thelma Ritter , are shown as decent, thoughtful working-class people devoting their efforts to provide their children with an education that will enable both siblings to rise out of the tenements. It is a tragic irony that these efforts mean their supervision and guidance of Frank is neglected. Although the film does suggest that lack of parental supervision is a reason for juvenile delinquency, it squarely pins the blame on living conditions as the chief cause: The moods of frustration and hopelessness created by such an environment, the movie insists, are the reasons behind juvenile delinquency.

City Across the River highlights the parents' efforts to obtain a good education for their children as a way of uplifting the next generation from a sordid and dangerous environment. Pryor, film critic for the New York Times , gave the film a positive review: It is rich in character delineation, especially in minor roles, and there is a coarse, natural tang to much of the writing by Director-Producer Maxwell Shane and his co-scenarist, Dennis Cooper.

Most of the players are comparatively unfamiliar, with the exception of Stephen McNally, who plays the role of a community center director in the neighborhood, and this gives the film an added degree of realism. Variety magazine praised the film: The plot threads are smoothly woven into the social fabric The performances by all members of the cast are marked by Shane's accent on naturalness.

Film critic Dennis Schwartz questioned the honesty of the screenplay: Tony Curtis made his film debut, taking a small part as one of the Amboy Dukes. All the gang members are stock characters and the predictable story sheds little insight about juvenile delinquency, offering only an outsider's look into the grimness of street life The book was a popular hard-hitting novel.
