Manhattan Murder Mystery may be lightweight Woody, but it's also a mile-wide grin with a surprisingly satisfying mystery angle. [18 Aug 1993, p.1D]
The triumph of Manhattan Murder Mystery is the return to form of Keaton, whose Annie Hall mannerisms have been smoothed by age, but can still erupt in the face of frustration. Watching her and Allen work together again is a joy; there are times when it seems that this couple is actually Annie and Alvy Singer, all grown up and no place else to go but New York City. Keaton's delightful performance is the re-emergence of a fine actor who was creatively sidetracked too long. [20 Aug 1993, p.8]
Allen's newest film is his best artistic work in years. [20 Aug 1993, p.AE17]
Mini-gems of comic editing grace the narrow,
claustrophobic world created in Manhattan Murder
Mystery. It's a safely escapist film that's vintage
- albeit mid-level - Woody Allen. [20 Aug 1993]

Manhattan Murder Mystery isn't a knee-slapper. A comic mystery in the tradition of the "Thin Man" movies, it has effortlessly funny appeal. Almost intentionally imperfect, it's a tossed-off sketch of a thing, intended to lightly engage and no more. Read full review
