Chicago Sun-Times -
But what's most visible in the movie is the engaging acting. Murphy and Aykroyd are perfect foils for each other.

Boston Globe -
It's easily the best of the movies I've seen by the various "Saturday Night Live" alumni, and part of the reason it's funny and satisfying is that it doesn't strain. [09 Jun 1983]

Chicago Tribune -
It's the funniest new movie on town. [July 22, 1983]

Variety -
Trading Places is a light romp geared up by the schtick shifted by Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy.

Empire -
Saturday Night Live activist Murphy, capitalising on the promise he showed in "48 Hrs.," steals the show as the quick-witted Billy Ray Valentine in what is certainly more mainstream fare than the earlier SNL staffed capers.
