It's an interesting movie to look back on for its attitudes: In the guise of being a consciousness-raiser it plumps for male tenderness and demonizes the mother who can't recognize how far her workaholic ex-hubbie has come.
Peter Rainer, Los Angeles Times

Kramer Vs. Kramer is a perceptive, touching, intelligent film about one of the raw sores of contemporary America, the dissolution of the family unit.
Dale Pollock, Variety

Benton's direction must first be praised for his choice of actors and his collaboration with them.
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic

Benton gives his film its depth and complexity by challenging the audience's preconceptions and snap opinions at every turn.
