Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold

Works best of all as a vehicle for Richard Gere, who has simply never looked better or held the screen more securely.

Chicago Tribune John Petrakis

So laden with forced plot twists that it will never be able to recover.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

Tastefully embarrassing.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Ultra-glossy weepie turns out to be something of a guilty pleasure.

San Francisco Examiner Wesley Morris

Fails to be the histrionic bubble bath that you want to carry you away.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Weepy, overwrought love story.

Boston Globe Loren King

It is all style and no substance.

Philadelphia Inquirer Carrie Rickey

Not only do they (Gere and Ryder) lack chemistry, they lack physics, zoology, botany and geology.

34

Mr. Showbiz Michael Atkinson

To say that it's dull barely scratches the surface.

Variety Emanuel Levy

Not a bad picture, just utterly banal.

The New York Times Stephen Holden

Flagrantly old-fashioned, triple-hankie tear-jerker.

Gere has never seemed more squirrelly.

Film.com Robert Horton

Spending an autumn in New York is the simple part, but the rest of the year gets more complicated. Let's see a movie about that.

LA Weekly Manohla Dargis

When it comes to real people living and loving in the real world, the studios don't have a clue.

Manages to jerk more than a few tears at all the right moments.

Who cares about old guys and young girls? This handsome romantic slop finds other problems.

Not that much deep thinking went on here.

Katie P. gave it a 10:
I actually liked this movie. It was cute, but not great. I understand the low ratings.

Gilbert Mulroneycakes And His Dog gave it a 0:
I wonder where we get the word "mawkish" from? What is a mawk? Why should something embarrasingly sentimental (as for example "Autumn In New York") be labelled as being like one? Answers on a postcard to Gilbert Mulroneycakes, PO Box 32, United Kingdom (NB: not really).

Tori D. gave it a 1:
Nothing more can be said for this movie but that it was gross. I certainly would not want to pay to see age-old Richard Gere kissing annoying Winona Ryder. This is one of few movies that not even the previews and experience of the movie theatre was worth.
