- 25Chicago TribuneDave KehrChicago TribuneDave KehrIt`s shoddy, lazy and numbingly stupid.
- 25Miami HeraldMiami HeraldBeyond the anemic script, though, Caddyshack II fails because Dangerfield fits the character better. His bulging eyes and neurotic demeanor fuel his lethal jabs. Even though he's still the stand-up comic, his well-established routine makes it easier to believe him. [27 July 1988, p.D1]
- 20TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineA disaster. Mason founders in his poorly written role, and none of the film's endless series of gags is the least bit funny.
- 10Washington PostRita KempleyWashington PostRita KempleyCaddyshack II, a feeble follow-up to the 1980 laff riot, is lamer than a duck with bunions, and dumber than grubs. It's patronizing and clumsily manipulative, and top banana Jackie Mason is upstaged by the gopher puppet.
- 10The New York TimesCaryn JamesThe New York TimesCaryn JamesThe film features someone who walks like Jackie Mason, talks like Jackie Mason, does everything except make people laugh like Jackie Mason.
- 10Orlando SentinelJay BoyarOrlando SentinelJay BoyarThis PG-rated romp is bland bananas compared to its R-rated predecessor. Besides, immediately following the liberating craziness of Animal House, another slob comedy didn't seem like such a bad idea. Now, after nearly a decade of slob comedies, the last thing we need is yet another, tamer one.
