United States | The Washington Post | "A cut above the usual teen sex comedy (...) Director David Greenwalt has brought 'Secret Admirer' a sense of visual style, some energy and a few good zingers, but the movie (which he cowrote with Jim Kouf) is smothered by the formula". | NEU |
United States | Slant | "'Secret Admirer' doesn’t quite qualify as fresh or unpredictable...But it also has a handful of gratifying moments and nuances you don’t expect from the genre" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "The film's sole ray of sunshine is Fred Ward, who reveals an unexpected flair for comedy in the role of Deborah Ann's father" | NEG |
United States | Miami Herald | "'Secret Admirer' is somewhat more clever and a great deal sweeter than the standard for its damp genre" | NEU |
