The Pirates of Penzance Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The singing is full and rich, the casting inspired.
TV Guide
The cast is charming, the sets intentionally stagy, and the musical performances fine.
Variety
Variety Staff
Gilbert & Sullivan's durable The Pirates of Penzance has been turned into an elaborate screen musical by basically the same hands responsible for Joseph Papp's smash New York Shakespeare Festival and Broadway stage production, and result is a delight.

Steve Crum
Grand operatic fun with dashing Kline and wonderful supporting cast.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Leach seems utterly mired in the staginess of it all -- a problem exacerbated by his insistence on presenting the film with patently unreal stage settings.
Nolan's Pop Culture Review
Michael A. Smith
Well made musical. Proof that Kline can do ANYTHING!
New York Times
Janet Maslin
There are too many attempts to single out particular performers when ensemble acting ought to prevail. That doesn't mean the leading players aren't appealing and accomplished, because they are.
Kalamazoo Gazette
James Sanford
A delight, beautifully sung by Kline, Ronstadt and Lansbury
