United Kingdom	Bob McCabe Empire	"The original Pink Panther movie, and perhaps even the best. Sellars is, obviously, stellar (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Charles Cassady Jr. Common Sense Media	"Sellers, naturally, is a riot (...) It's not at all stagey, and the cast is a great display of star power."	POS
United States	Variety	"Sometimes the narrative is subordinated to individual bits of business and running gags but Sellers’ skill as a comedian again is demonstrated"	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Hutchinson Radio Times	"[Peter Sellers] mingles accents and mangles motives with his usual skill, producing some of the most hilarious moments in the series (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
