Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
One of those entertainments where you laugh a lot along the way, and then you end up on the edge of your seat at the end.

USA Today - Mike Clark
Though Weaver is by all accounts (mine included) in the real-life “none-nicer'” class, I've always suspected she might be great as a shrew. She is. [21 Dec 1988, Life, p.1D]

Time - Richard Corliss
Intoxicating. [19 Dec 1988, p.78]

Los Angeles Times - Sheila Benson
Working Girl is the sparkling success that it is because of the sheer irresistibility of Melanie Griffith. [21 Dec 1988, Calendar, p.6-1]
88
Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
Griffith gives the fullest performance of her career; Weaver, the most likable, even though she's the villain of the piece. Michael Nichols directs his best film in years. [23 Dec 1988, Friday, p.A]
