Washington Post - Paul Attanasio
Heartburn is a masterpiece, a collaboration of mature artists at the peak of their craft, and something of a summing up for Mike Nichols, who, more successfully than any other American director, has staked out the terrain where men and women meet as his own. Here it is -- a movie that is seriously funny.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
This is a bitter, sour movie about two people who are only marginally interesting.
50
The New York Times - Unnamed
Unhappily, the movie begins to show signs of wear even before the marriage does.
50
Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
Ephron delivered an incredibly flimsy script based on her novel about her former husband's repeated infidelity during their marriage and her pregnancies. Nicholson isn't given a character to play. He just lumbers onto the screen and cheats off-camera.
50
Miami Herald - Bill Cosford
Heartburn doesn't have enough good inside semi-fiction to be of much interest to the Washington cognoscenti, and it's not enough of a movie to stay in the memory of the outside-the-beltway crowd more than an hour or two. What it is is a chance to see our two most celebrated actors at work for a while between films. [25 July 1986, p.D1]
