- 70The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinThe Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinDespite it’s entirely predictable, cliché-embracing script, executed with a shrewd mix of forelock-tugging rectitude and cheekiness by director Julian Jarrold (Brideshead Revisited, Kinky Boots), it remains an eminently watchable diversion.

- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe surprises are few, and none of it am0unts to a whole lot. But for those up to taking yet another British sentimental journey to “their finest hour,” A Royal Night Out manages something unheard of in the decades of Windsor wooliness since. It makes them cute, if only for one night.
- 60EmpireOlly RichardsEmpireOlly RichardsA cheerful comedy-drama with charm to spare.
- 60The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinOf course it’s lightweight, bordering on disposable.... But it’s also genuinely warm-spirited, with three lovable central performances from Gadon, Powley and Reynor

- 60Total FilmJamie GrahamTotal FilmJamie GrahamJarrold struggles to sweep things along with quite enough vigour – budget constraints crowd the edge of the frame – but Gadon is intoxicating as Elizabeth.
- 60Village VoiceAbby GarnettVillage VoiceAbby GarnettThe film relies heavily on the coltish charms of its young leads, and Powley's effervescent, well-timed performance as the younger princess (she calls herself "P2") is skillful enough to bring out the screwball latencies in an otherwise bland screenplay.
- 40The GuardianMike McCahillThe GuardianMike McCahillIt’s a thin, trickledown sort of fun.
