Berri also remains a boringly uninteresting director, dotting every i and crossing every t with nothing much on his mind but platitude.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Berri is unable to overcome the inherent feebleness of the Manon character, here played ineffectually by the lovely and talented Emmanuelle Beart.
Variety Staff, Variety

There is a satisfying symmetry to events, with Manon able to take her revenge on the Soubeyrans.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh
The acting, from that of the four major stars to the numerous supporting cast members, is without flaw.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The movie is stuffed with cues for arias that are never heard.
