Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
We laugh, that we may not cry. But none of this philosophy comes close to the insane logic of "M*A*S*H," which is achieved through a peculiar marriage of cinematography, acting, directing, and writing.

TV Guide
Staff (Not Credited)
Clever camera setups, Altman's patented overlapping dialogue, wonderful sight gags and situations, and universally fine ensemble performances combine to make this one the most enjoyable war-themed films ever.

Time
Staff (Not Credited)
M.A.S.H., one of America's funniest bloody films, is also one of its bloodiest funny films.

80
Empire
Clark Collis
Bitterly funny with perfect set-piece after perfect set-piece.

70
Variety
Justin Chang
In the end M.A.S.H. succeeds, in spite of its glaring faults, because Gould, Sutherland, Skerritt, Jo Ann Pflug as the delicious Lt. Dish, and Roger Bowen, as the goof-off commanding officer who is bright enough to recognize his junior officers' medical competence and stay out of their way, are all believable and bitingly funny in their casual disdain for the Army.

70
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
A somewhat adolescent if stylish antiauthoritarian romp about an irreverent U.S. medical unit during the Korean war

60
The New York Times
Roger Greenspun
Although it is impudent, bold, and often very funny, it lacks the sense of order (even in the midst of disorder) that seems the special province of successful comedy.
