The New Republic - Stanley Kauffmann
What matters much more than the story or the Spicy Stuff is the dancing, the show-biz dancing. It's electric. Exciting. And there's lots of it. [23 Oct 1995]

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
As Nomi, Elizabeth Berkley has exactly two emotions -- hot and bothered -- but her party-doll blowsiness works for the picture.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
If the plot and screenplay are juvenile, the production values are first-rate, and the lead performance by newcomer Elizabeth Berkley has a fierce energy that's always interesting.

Chicago Tribune - Gene Siskel
The film's big lap-dance sequence is impressive, however, if only for the sheer athleticism of Elizabeth Berkley's contortion. Later, when she pulls the same stunt in a swimming pool, we recognize the show for what it is--a male fantasy film in which the women are little more than rag dolls. [22 Sept 1995]

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
To take Showgirls that seriously (as either trash-art or appalling pornography) wouldn't be worth the exertion.
