Critic Reviews:
- " Georgy Girl is from the life's-a-giggle school of comedy, and Lynn Redgrave larks about non-stop, exhibiting a talent for mimicry with overtones of Joyce Grenfell. " – Wendy Michener (Maclean's Magazine)
- " Kinetic direction, crisp black and white photography, pop music, urban realism, social issues, and contemporary attitudes towards sex. " – Shane Burridge (rec.arts.movies.reviews)
