Chicago Sun-Times
- Review, by Roger Ebert: "So the movie is daring, and well-acted. Yet it isn't very satisfying, because the serious content keeps breaking through the soggy plot intended to contain it." [Score: 2 out of 5]

Los Angeles Times
- Review, by Carina Chocano: "It's too bad that the satire is not more pointed, because Pretty Persuasion is outrageously funny in short blasts, mainly thanks to James Woods at his most gleefully depraved."
