Los Angeles Times
The summer's uncorseted, unqualified delight. [14 July 1989, Calendar, p.6-1] - 100
Rolling Stone
A ravishing, romantic lark brimming over with style, intelligence and flashing wit. - 90
Time
Like Harry and Sally, the movie is hardworking, spot on; it winepresses its conversation into epigrams. No surprise here.[31 July 1999, p.65] - 75
USA Today
As a successful careerist who tries purging his neuroses in a coin-operated batting cage, Crystal is funny enough to keep Ryan from all-out stealing the film. She, though, is smashing in an eye-opening performance, another tribute to Reiner's flair with actors. [12 July 1989, Life, p.1D] - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
What makes it special, apart from the Ephron screenplay, is the chemistry between Crystal and Ryan. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The comedy is warm and witty and wafer-thin, as easy on the palate as a raspberry sorbet on a summer afternoon. - 75
Chicago Tribune
From his long experience in television, [Reiner] has learned how to create characters with just enough depth to hold together but not so much that they become too individualized, too stubbornly complex. [12 July 1989, Tempo, p.1] - 63
Christian Science Monitor
What he forgot to ask Woody [Allen] for was the keen insight into middle-class folkways that marks the best Allen pictures. [28 July 1989, Arts, p.10]
