Wall Street Journal
The movie is, at times, funny enough to make you cry, and, when it's not, it moves nicely as a parody.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Once in a long while, it even comes tantalizingly close to that rarest of modern film commodities -- ribald wit.

The jokes often are corny or labored, and the story is predictable. However, Atkinson raises the movie to the level of good fun by the force of his outrageous persona and skill at physical comedy.

Film Threat
Rowan Atkinson's spy spoof is wildly uneven and yet, at times, nothing less than wildly entertaining.

Baltimore Sun
Johnny English never builds any momentum, and Atkinson simply isn't a good enough actor to mine continued laughs from repetitive material.
