[Washington] gives the kind of smooth, funny, laid-back performance that could help make him the first black matinee idol since Sidney Poitier.
New York Times
...Manages to be lighthearted without being soft in the head....Successively witty, romantic, simple and pretty...
New York Times
...Fun....The movie sparkles with playful tension, bubbles with amiability....The filmmakers and cast seem to be enjoying themselves...

Engrossing mystery in a unique setting
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
With Fancher's dialogue and Washington's comedic timing, The Mighty Quinn is more fun than a cabana full of bananas.

The Mighty Quinn is a spy thriller, a buddy movie, a musical, a comedy and a picture that is wise about human nature. And yet with all of those qualities, it never seems to strain.

The film has the unmistakable (or maybe only semi-mistakable) feel of a television pilot.
