Critic Reviews:
- " Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa…does play to the character's strengths, giving him reams of carefully honed comic writing disguised as casual malapropisms and off-the-cuff banter. " – Laurence Phelan
- " “Alan Partridge” could have been an expansion of Coogan's original character concept into the international big time. " – Ty Burr
- " Hopping from small to big screen is a trick few manage. " – Larushka Ivan-Zadeh
