Variety
Moore is right at home on the podium or behind the piano, and his comic invention results in a delightful performance. - 70
Newsweek
Dudley Moore is the comic bubble beneath her solemn sultriness, and Unfaithfully Yours, though a slow starter, eventually works up a full head of comic steam. [05 Mar 1984, p.81] - 60
The New York Times
Miss Kinski is a major problem. She's a beauty, all right, but she appears to have no flair whatever for comedy of this sort, or maybe of any sort. - 50
Time Out
Amiable but half-baked remake of what was anyway one of Preston Sturges' least satisfactory comedies. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
The remake of Unfaithfully Yours is just a shadow of its source, using the basic plot and characters, but diluting Sturges's ideas. [23 Feb 1984, p.21] - 50
Miami Herald
Unfaithfully Yours turns mildly manic in its last half-hour or so, but it's not enough to redeem that first hour, when Moore and Kinski go through familiar motions in search of something special. For too much of their movie, what they're looking for isn't there. [13 Feb 1984, p.C6] - 50
The New Yorker
This version isn't a total dud, but it's a coarser piece of slapstick, and not at all memorable. - 50
Washington Post
Zieff & Co. give it a game, good-humored try, but I don't think they're in jeopardy of being celebrated as inspired farceurs. [14 Feb 1984, p.D8]
