| VarietyDerek ElleyAn entertaining chick pic for all ages and sexes. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardIf one ignores reason, High Heels hums along well enough as a crime caper. |
| New Times (L.A.)Luke Y. ThompsonThis movie is every bit the mess its title makes it sound. |

| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasA broad and stale British crime comedy that wastes the considerable talent and presence of Minnie Driver. |
| User ReviewJamesHApparently, I am one of the few to really enjoy this film. I thought it was well paced and funny, Minnie Driver and Mary McCormack are great. The score is good, the story is entertaining. It had enough twists to hold my interest. |
