- 100Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertEdwards and Moore are working at the top of their forms here, and the result is a pure, classic slapstick that makes Micki + Maude a real treasure.
- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineMicki & Maude has some very funny scenes and excellent acting from all the performers. It begins a bit slowly but builds well and winds up in a comic celebration.
- 70The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyThe director, the star and the writer make a fine team in this often riotous tale.
- 70Time OutTime OutThe film's greatest moments of comedy spring from the bigamous Moore's escalating panic in the face of keeping two marriages together but separate, culminating in a double delivery in adjacent hospital wards of frantic delirium; Keystone cops meet The Hospital.
- 70The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelThe move may seem insipid to people who want something substantial, but there's a special delight about the timing of actors who make fools of themselves as personably and airily as Dudley Moore and Amy Irving do here.
- 70NewsweekJack KrollNewsweekJack KrollEdwards has given Dudley Moore his best vehicle since Arthur. [31 Dec 1984, p.67]
- 63Washington PostPaul AttanasioWashington PostPaul AttanasioBilled as a romantic comedy, the movie is certainly funny, but it's also as darkly disturbing as any this year.
- 60Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrEdwards directs this farcical material in an unexpectedly intimate, naturalistic style, giving the characters a conviction that makes the slapstick sequences much funnier and more suspenseful than they might have been. But the film still has a rushed, slapdash feel to it.
- 38Miami HeraldBill CosfordMiami HeraldBill CosfordIt's fun seeing what these two can do when they're inspired, but it's awful having to sit through what happens when they're not. [21 Dec 1984, p.D10]
