- 100The TelegraphThe TelegraphIt's a great idea, and the supporting cast (including Sid James) is terrific, especially during the sight gags. It's very funny indeed. [22 May 2010, p.31]
- The humor is spotty but when it works, it is hysterical. Raves go to Terry-Thomas for producing some riotous comic moments.
- 70The New York TimesBosley CrowtherThe New York TimesBosley CrowtherToo Many Crooks is strictly of that surface order, but it's a good, crazy, brisk farce comedy.
- 70The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelMichael Pertwee, who wrote such English comedies as Laughter in Paradise and Your Past Is Showing for the director Mario Zampi, had a good idea here, too.
- 60The Observer (UK)The Observer (UK)Half-witted British comedy about a dim-witted gang's attempt at a big kidnapping. But it's worth seeing for a gifted cast, headed by Terry- Thomas (the victim's rich, shifty husband), that includes George Cole, Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw and John Le Mesurier. [25 Aug 2002, p.8]
