| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanRalph Bakshi's first feature in nearly a decade would like to be a down-and-dirty "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," but Bakshi isn't up to the task. |
| Los Angeles TimesPeter RainerTechnically, Bakshi's work is uneven; some of the characters in his Cool universe are hilarious, while others are flat. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a best-forgotten relic of the 1990s... |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael WilmingtonIt’s one of those movies that seem fabricated for a shopping mall: decorative, pretty, vacuous. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe interfacing of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional characters is so shabbily accomplished that it makes you start noticing all the other technical glitches in the work. |
