When it came to positive reviews, "Newsweek" claimed "Click" was predictable as a moral story but "unusually dark, occasionally touching and pretty funny" for a Sandler comedy. "Empire"s Sam Toy enjoyed the film for its "smart and genuinely moving ideas," Beckinsale's performance, and a strong third act, although dismissed the script for being overstuffed, the first half of the film for Sandler being too restrained in his everyman role, and actors such as Coolidge, Hasselhoff and Walken for being put in small roles.
