Gilliam's first solo flight as a director is more notable for its inspired visual ideas than for the frequency of its laughs, but Python devotees will have fun. - 63
New York Daily News
Gilliam's first fully equipped playpen and if he musses it up -- I mean, really musses it up --well, prodigies will be prodigies. - 60
Village Voice
The film itself is thinly conceived, except in the area of bodily misfunction. It plays like the murky B side to the immortal Gilliam-Jones epic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." - 50
Variety
Long on jabber but short on yocks. - 40
L.A. Weekly
Jabberwocky is not a Python film, a fact most obvious in its marked lack of humor.
