New York Post
Russian Dolls is itself a delightful mini-trip to Europe. Its overly cute bits are like cinematic tourist traps, but it's the beauty that stays with you. - 75
The A.V. Club
These characters are still rich, and their potential growth still compelling. Here's hoping we meet them again in another five years. - 75
TV Guide Magazine
Klapisch's use of split screens, fragmented images and nouvelle vague-ish editing would be annoying if it weren't so in keeping with the youthful exuberance his characters haven't quite lost. - 70
Salon
As long as Klapisch keeps his characters pinballing each other from one Euro-capital to the next, Russian Dolls remains fun and charming, without ever seeming remotely serious or meaningful. - 70
The New Yorker
Russian Dolls offers touristic views of London, Paris, and St. Petersburg, where Wendy and Xavier both go for the wedding of another former roommate, and many pretty faces and bodies; it's froth with a sprinkling of earnest reflection. - 63
New York Daily News
Meandering, overlong digital soap opera. - 60
Empire
For all its self-conscious pizzazz, this is irresistibly entertaining. - 60
Village Voice
Those who loved the original Auberge will likely be eager to book rooms once again.
