[[Pauline Kael]] wrote: "This John Huston picture has a ripe and daring comic tone. It revels voluptuously in the murderous finagling of the members of a Brooklyn Mafia family, and rejoices in their scams. It's like ''[[The Godfather]]'' acted out by ''[[The Munsters]]''. Jack Nicholson's average-guyness as Charley, the clan's enforcer, is the film's touchstone: this is a baroque comedy about people who behave in ordinary ways in grotesque circumstances, and it has the juice of everyday family craziness in it."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Kael |first=Pauline |title=Prizzi's Honor |magazine=[[The New Yorker]]|date=July 1, 1985 |url= https://scrapsfromtheloft.com/movies/prizzis-honor-pauline-kael/ |via=Scraps from the Loft |access-date=May 20, 2023}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote: "This is the most bizarre comedy in many a month, a movie so dark, so cynical and so funny that perhaps only Jack Nicholson and Kathleen Turner could have kept straight faces during the love scenes."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ebert |first=Roger |date=June 11, 1985 |title=Prizzi's Honor movie review & film summary (1985) |url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/prizzis-honor-1985 |website=RogerEbert.com |access-date=August 1, 2020 |archive-date=July 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730140450/https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/prizzis-honor-1985 |url-status=live }}</ref>
