Reception
Andy Webb from "The Movie Scene" gave it two out of five stars and stated: "What this all boils down to is that "He Sees You When You're Sleeping" is entertaining in a sort of its so corny it is amusing kind of way. But for me it was certainly not what I expected from a movie which is part of "The Mary Higgins Clark Collection" and the mix of humour and drama in this doesn't really work."{{cite web|last1=Webb|first1=Andy|title=He Sees You When You're Sleeping (2002)|url=http://www.themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/he-sees-you-when-youre-sleeping/he-sees-you-when-youre-sleeping.html|website=The Movie Scene|accessdate=1 July 2017|archive-date=10 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170610062854/http://themoviescene.co.uk/reviews/he-sees-you-when-youre-sleeping/he-sees-you-when-youre-sleeping.html|url-status=live}}
