- 100Time OutTime OutSuperbly scored, beautifully designed by Boris Leven to highlight the genre's artificiality, and performed to perfection.
- 80EmpireDamon WiseEmpireDamon WiseMore than a fascinating misfire, it’s a rare and telling glimpse into a legendary filmmaker’s fiercely guarded soul.
- 80Chicago ReaderDave KehrChicago ReaderDave KehrNot first-rank Scorsese, but still impressive.
- 75Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertAbandon your expectations of an orderly plot, and you'll end up humming the title song. The movie's a vast, rambling, nostalgic expedition back into the big band era, and a celebration of the considerable talents of Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro.
- 75TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineA visually fascinating rumination on the genre.
- 50The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyIt's not that the movie runs out of steam long before it has gone on for two hours and 33 minutes, but that we have figured it out and become increasingly dumbfounded.
- 40The New YorkerPauline KaelThe New YorkerPauline KaelAn honest failure. This United Artists big-budget musical film, directed by Martin Scorsese, suffers from too many conflicting intentions.
- 40Washington PostGary ArnoldWashington PostGary ArnoldAn overwhelmingly friendly climate of opinion awaited "New York, New York." Scorsese has squandered it by backing off from the very challenge of rationalizing and sustaining a musical romantic drama.
