To realize that such studio entertainments found a way to accommodate politics and satire is to mourn something largely lost.

Theodore Flicker's genial exercise in comic paranoia re-emerges, for no apparent reason, a reasonably fit and funny artifact from the age of grooviness.

If Philip K. Dick had worked for Mad magazine, he might have come up with The President's Analyst.

Overall it's hilarious stuff, held together by Coburn's tongue-in-cheek performance, one of his best.
Derek Adams, Time Out

Writer and director Theodore Flicker's satire is modern and biting, and there are many fine, subtle touches in the film.
