[[Bosley Crowther]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote: "The feline that plays the informant, as the F.B.I. puts it, is superb. [[Clark Gable]] at the peak of his performing never played a tom cat more winningly. This elegant, blue-eyed creature is a paragon of suavity and grace", and concluded, "it's an entertaining picture. Even a king might profitably look at ''That Darn Cat''."<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1965/12/03/archives/the-screen-walt-disneys-darn-cathayley-mills-and-feline-star-at.html ''New York Times: That Darn Cat''.] December 3, 1965.</ref> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' said: "[[Walt Disney]] comes up with a novelty charmer in this lilting translation of [[The Gordons (writers)|the Gordon's]] [sic] whimsical tale of a Siamese cat who helps the FBI solve a kidnapping case."<ref>"Film Reviews: That Darn Cat". ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]''. September 22, 1965. 6.</ref> Philip K. Scheuer of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' stated: "As a detective story, ''That Darn Cat!'' is strictly for juveniles and the juvenile-minded. It contains little of the step-by-step development which in good detective stories brings out the sleuthing in all of us, being content to settle for a series of gags in which that darn cat, a brownish Siamese, leads the FBI and others on a number of false scents till he and we finally barge in on the criminals."<ref>Scheuer, Philip K. (December 30, 1965). "'D.C.' Will Take Juveniles' Fantasy". ''[[Los Angeles Times]]''. Part IV, p. 9.</ref> [[Richard L. Coe]] of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' declared: "''That Darn Cat'' is a dandy Christmas present for everyone except the [[Ebenezer Scrooge|Scrooges]]. Children will enjoy its pranks, adults its whimsy, cat-lovers its Siamese and even [[J. Edgar Hoover]] won't mind this use of the FBI."<ref>Coe, Richard L. (December 25, 1965). "Disney's 'Cat' Fuel for Yule". ''[[The Washington Post]]''. B7.</ref> [[Brendan Gill]] of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' called the film "a typical product of the giant Disney flapdoodle factory, which for many years now has devoted itself to grinding out lavish falsifications of contemporary life."<ref>Gill, Brendan (December 11, 1965).
