The Hollywood ReporterRay Bennett
Murphy's comic brilliance is at the service of the story and he positively shines with a number of diverse and zany impersonations, most enjoyably a Jesse Jackson takeoff. Read full review

The New York TimesVincent Canby
The Distinguished Gentleman is an easy, breezy romp of a movie, a low comedy of highly entertaining order. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth Turan
While the result is inevitably middle of the road, it still manages to be the funniest picture Murphy has made in quite some time. [04 Dec 1992]

Portland OregonianTed Mahar
Murphy shows an easy versatility, going for guffaws one minute and pulling off a grinner the next. [04 Dec 1992]

Wall Street JournalJulie Salamon
With a refreshing absence of earnestness, the movie mainly spins out many variations on a theme: Easy Street begins and ends on Capitol Hill. [03 Dec 1992]
