- 70NewsweekDavid AnsenNewsweekDavid AnsenDudley 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]
- 60The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyMiss 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.
- 50Time OutTime OutAmiable but half-baked remake of what was anyway one of Preston Sturges' least satisfactory comedies.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittThe 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]
- 50Miami HeraldBill CosfordMiami HeraldBill CosfordUnfaithfully 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]
- 50The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelThis version isn't a total dud, but it's a coarser piece of slapstick, and not at all memorable.
- 50Washington PostGary ArnoldWashington PostGary ArnoldZieff & 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]
- 40TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineThere are a few sparkles of humor here, but this remake is an inferior product. Whereas Sturges played out his story with wit and flair, Howard Zieff's direction is flat and uninspired.
