- 63Miami HeraldConnie OgleMiami HeraldConnie OgleIt's full of lively and crude sexual banter, discussions of hookups and sex and Joel McHale's bare butt. Oddly, all this makes the film funnier and more accessible than you might imagine.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttMild vulgarity and discreet nudity garner the sought-after R rating, but this effort feels forced. The real "bad" here is the sheer formulaic nature of everything. There are no surprises but for once you don't much mind.
- 58The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinThere's a smart, funny, observant comedy-drama to be made about the role our romantic pasts play in determining our futures, but director Mark Mylod and screenwriters Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan are less interested in making that movie than in cycling Faris through a series of non-starting encounters with one-note-joke ex-flings.
- Some audience members will come out for What's Your Number? for Faris' appeal and likability, but they'll leave disappointed because this film is more interested in showing her physical assets than her comedic ones.
- 40EmpireHelen O'HaraEmpireHelen O'HaraTwo charming leads don't make up for a comedy that just doesn't quite deliver the laughs it should.
- 40VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangA draggy, generally laugh-free outing that wastes a perfectly good Anna Faris.
- 40Arizona RepublicArizona RepublicThe film's lack of common sense reaches out-of-control proportions in the final minutes.
- 38Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreAnna Faris and Chris Evans don't have enough scenes together, don't have enough funny lines and aren't surrounded by enough funny people to give this "Bridesmaids-lite" a shot.
- 25Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallI wouldn't even DVR What's Your Number? if under house arrest and starved for entertainment. I've got this movie's number, and it's zero.
