As a stand-up routine it's a scream.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Plenty of one-liners, and it has the best banana-skin joke in film history.
Derek Adams, Time Out

The film is loaded with throwaway literacy and broad slapstick, and while it fumbles the end, the parade of verbal and visual amusement is pleasant as long as it lasts.
Derek Elley, Variety

Sleeper is the closest Allen has come to classic slapstick-and-chase comedy, and he's good at it.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
