[[Janet Maslin]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' described the film as "a bright, energetic, sometimes side-splitting comedy with vital matters on its mind, precisely the kind of sharp-edged farce [Allen] has always done best."<ref>{{cite news |last=Maslin |first=Janet |author-link=Janet Maslin |title=Film Festival Review; Allen's Ode to Theater and, as Always, New York |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 30, 1994 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9D00EFDC1F3AF933A0575AC0A962958260 |access-date=September 20, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129034832/http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9D00EFDC1F3AF933A0575AC0A962958260 |archive-date=January 29, 2018}}</ref> [[Todd McCarthy]] of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' similarly called it "a backstage comedy bolstered by healthy shots of prohibition gangster melodrama and romantic entanglements" and wrote, "In its mixing of showbiz and gangsters, this is a nice companion piece to Allen's ''[[Broadway Danny Rose]]'', and about as amusing."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=McCarthy |first=Todd |author-link=Todd McCarthy |title=Review: 'Bullets Over Broadway' |magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=September 6, 1994 |url=https://variety.com/1994/film/reviews/bullets-over-broadway-2-1200438721/ |access-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304230613/http://variety.com/1994/film/reviews/bullets-over-broadway-2-1200438721/ |archive-date=March 4, 2016  |url-status=live}}</ref> [[Roger Ebert]] of the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' praised, "''Bullets Over Broadway'' shares a kinship with a more serious film by Allen, ''[[Crimes and Misdemeanors]]'', in which a man committed murder and was able, somehow, to almost justify it.
