Variety Staff, Variety
Terrif dialog to match Robards' scenery-chewing create a sock impact.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
The humor is still surprising, and Mr. Robards is still full of spice with his clownish wise-cracks and the map of Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey stamped all over his face.

Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
The mechanics of the Herb Gardner script show through much too clearly for this to qualify as anything other than shrewdly programmed entertainment.

This warm and wonderful comedy-drama is a paean to non-conformity.

Sean Axmaker, MSN.com
... there's something disingenuous about presenting defiant purposelessness and unemployment as an act of courage.
