in his review for "newsweek" magazine, david ansen wrote, "a one joke movie? perhaps, but it's such an engaging joke that anyone who loves old movies will find it irresistible. and anyone who loves steve martin will be fascinated by his sly performance, which is pitched exactly between the low comedy of "the jerk" and the highbrow brechtianisms of "pennies from heaven"." vincent canby's review for "the new york times" praised martin's performance: "the film has an actor who's one of america's best sketch artists, a man blessed with a great sense of timing, who is also self-effacing enough to meet the most cockeyed demands of the material." "time" magazine's richard corliss wrote, "the gag works for a while, as martin weaves his own plot-web into the 18 old movies, but pretty soon he's traveling on old good will and flop sweat".
