The New York Times reviewer wrote that The Jerk "is by turns funny, vulgar and backhandedly clever, never more so than when it aspires to absolute stupidity. And Mr. Martin, who began his career with an arrow stuck through his head, has since developed a real genius for playing dumb ... Even when it's crude — which is quite a lot of the time — it's not mean-spirited ... Mr. Martin and his co-star, Bernadette Peters, work very sweetly together, even when they sing a duet of 'Tonight You Belong to Me,' carrying sweetness to what could easily have become an intolerable extreme."

- BBC film review rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and described the film as being  "a film that resembles a mix between "Airplane"-style gags and an early watered down version of the crude comedy the Farrelly Brothers would later take to new extremes".
