	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"At every moment in the movie, I was aware that Peter Sellers was Clouseau, and Steve Martin was not. I hadn't realized how thoroughly Sellers and Edwards had colonized my memory (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Martin's craftsmanship can't hold a candle to Sellers's instinctive genius (...) Many of the jokes barely have time to register before we're on to the next stunt"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"With a better story, director and support cast, Martin could have made Clouseau his own. Still, it's not as bad as the one with Roberto Benigni (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"[Martin's] accident-prone Inspector Clouseau lacks Peter Sellers's warmth, charm, innocence and timing"	NEG
United Kingdom	Matthew Leyland BBC	"Peter Sellers' shoes prove several sizes too big for Steve Martin in 'The Pink Panther', a distressingly unfunny attempt to update the bumbling-detective series that began in 1963 (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
