- 88RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesRogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesAnyone But You, from director Will Gluck and co-writer Ilana Wolpert, has the charm, wit, swoony romance, and, most importantly, star chemistry that has been solely missing from recent lackluster entries in the genre.
- 70IGNIGNWhile Anyone But You isn’t a bold new take on traditional romcom formulas, it becomes an infectiously sincere and easily watchable movie featuring a charming ensemble cast and great situational comedy.
- 67IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichAnyone but You actually works best when it leans harder towards the screwball comedies of the 1930s than it does the more grounded rom-coms they inspired at the end of the century.
- The film is made as fun escapism, and it succeeds at that.
- 63Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt leans HARD into the romantic comedy tropes, to the point that you might find yourself giving into the silliness and the over-the-top embracing of so many clichés. It’s like you’re getting bombarded with rom-com snowballs for the entire movie.
- 60SlashfilmMarshall ShafferSlashfilmMarshall ShafferThe best that can be said about everything surrounding Powell and Sweeney in Anyone But You is that they mostly have the good sense to move the plot quickly and then let the stars sparkle.

- 42ConsequenceClint WorthingtonConsequenceClint WorthingtonJust don’t expect it to rewrite the genre playbook.
- 40The GuardianBenjamin LeeThe GuardianBenjamin LeeThe pair never convincingly hate or even mildly dislike each other, there’s no bite there, it’s more like watching a happy couple playfully rag on each other for an audience and we’re never given enough of a reason as to why they wouldn’t be together from the outset.
