Chicago Sun-Times
About Last Night... is a warmhearted and intelligent love story, and one of the year's best movies. - 90
Los Angeles Times
Tender, marvelously well played (by almost everyone) and thoroughly engaging. When it comes to the current sexual skirmishes between men and women, screenwriters Tim Kazurinsky and Denise DeClue (Second City alumni) know every inch of enemy territory and take no prisoners. - 88
Chicago Tribune
This is the movie "St. Elmo's Fire" wanted to be and missed by a mile. - 75
ReelViews
The core of honesty that distinguishes the production remains unchanged by time, ensuring that, no matter how many years have passed, About Last Night... still works on an emotional level. - 60
Variety
Film lacks much of Mamet's grittiness, but is likable in its own right. - 50
The New York Times
You've a right to wonder why anyone would want to work so hard - with such an expenditure of imagination - to transform a play with such a distinctive voice into a movie that sounds like any number of others. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The second leads are far more interesting: Belushi brings a brash, hearty presence to the film, while Perkins is wonderfully acerbic. Their scenes together are the movie's best. - 50
Chicago Reader
As the envious, destructive best friends of the central couple, Jim Belushi and (especially) Elizabeth Perkins have the actor's know-how to fill in the gaps, but as the lovers, Rob Lowe and Demi Moore are hopelessly pallid.
