Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Gilliam's first solo flight as a director is more notable for its inspired visual ideas than for the frequency of its laughs, but Python devotees will have fun.

New Times (L.A.) by Gregory Weinkauf
Awesome! Bravura! Captivating! Dazzling!

L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
Jabberwocky is not a Python film, a fact most obvious in its marked lack of humor.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
Gilliam's first fully equipped playpen and if he musses it up -- I mean, really musses it up --well, prodigies will be prodigies.

Village Voice by Jessica Winter
The film itself is thinly conceived, except in the area of bodily misfunction. It plays like the murky B side to the immortal Gilliam-Jones epic "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."
