San Francisco Chronicle -
With House Party, the Hudlins have made a happy, harmless romp of a movie that, in its own minor way, manages to make a contribution to black cinema. There is a measure of social equality in the mere fact that black teens get stupid movies made about them, too. [9 Mar 1990, p.E6]

Variety -
House Party captures contemporary black teen culture in a way that’s fresh, commercial and very catchy.

Washington Post -
House Party isn't a great movie, but it's heartfelt and enormously winning. In its own modest, ramshackle way, it manages to seem innocent even when it's profane. And maybe a party that demonstrates that those two qualities aren't necessarily opposed is exactly the kind we need.

Entertainment Weekly -
The movie is slick and cartoonish but also extremely clever, and its unabashed conventionality is exactly what’s fun about it.

The New York Times -
Unlike most teen-age movies, which attempt to impose some kind of adult order and significance on the events they recall, House Party has the light touch, rude wit and immediacy of rap as improvised by someone in top form.
