Murphy may not be in the same style of performance as Anderson, but no one can deny that back in 1983 he galvanized an audience as few other comedians could. Occasionally there's a PG bit involving Eddie's family, but for the most part the humor is raunchy -- as evidenced by Murphy's routine about Ralph Kramden being "serviced" by Ed Norton. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
It still had me in stitches today.

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...while the movie does seem to have its fans, there's just no overlooking the general lack of laughs...

Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
There's a glee and an innocence to the 22-year-old comic cutting loose, recklessly slashing up the world with his razor wit. Delirious is aptly titled, and still shocking after all these years.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Esta performance absolutamente genial é uma prova inconteste de como o "politicamente correto" destruiu a comédia contemporânea.
