4/5
"Acting aside, Crooks ultimately succeeds on the strength of a wickedly hilarious script that proves Woody still has his funny bone."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

77/100
"Small Time Crooks stacks up pretty favourably to Woody's cinematic debut."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

C+
"There are just enough Woody sight gags and one-liners for this film to keep its head above water."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

2.5/4
"Elaine May steals the show."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

"The talented comedian Tracey Ullman carries this comedy with her élan and spunky contentiousness."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

2.5/4
"I wish I could recommend Small Time Crooks more strongly, but the truth is that it's a weak (bordering on inconsequential) entry into the director's canon."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

"Allen doesn't push the material as far or as hard as he might have."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

7/10
"The film has plenty of laughs, delivers Woody firmly tucked back in his humor saddle."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

6/10
"...its slack pace, aided by Allen's insistence on slow, improvisational acting styles, plus its soft center turn the film into an Allen also-ran."  DVDTown.com  John J. Puccio

"The film features some of the best comedic acting that you will ever see. Period."  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

"I don't know if Small Time Crooks would appeal to a regular fan of Woody Allen's, but it should delight Tracy Ullman fans no matter what."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

7/10
"Thin, clichéd comedy of crime and social climbing contains some scattered laughs and whole lot of padding."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/4
"As funny as any of his recent comic successes."  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

2.5/4
"Delivers small time laughs."  Mr. Brown's Movies  Michael Dequina

3/5
"Ullman and Grant are fun to watch, but the real standout performance is Elaine May as Frenchy's dim-witted cousin."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

3/5
"Não é um filme espetacular, como alguns dos trabalhos anteriores de Allen, mas é bastante superior a diversas bobagens produzidas por Hollywood nos últimos tempos."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

9/10
