Gwen Ihnat · The A.V. Club 91.00/100.00

Although crafting a comedy about such world-altering topics was bound to be difficult, a master like Wilder could pull it off.

Staff (Not Credited) · Variety 70.00/100.00

Billy Wilder's One, Two, Three is a fast-paced, high-pitched, hard-hitting, lighthearted farce crammed with topical gags and spiced with satirical overtones. Story is so furiously quick-witted that some of its wit gets snarled and smothered in overlap. But total experience packs a considerable wallop.

Don Druker · Chicago Reader 80.00/100.00

The pace is blistering, and Wilder's deep-seated hatred of Germans has never been put to more comic use.
