Critical reception for Back in Business has been negative. Empire Magazine described it as "Not very exciting, not very funny and hardly likely to promote either of its stars out of the low-rent sector, it cruises along like a very old car, you know it'll get to where it's going in the end but you don't want to go along for the ride." TV Guide wrote that "Although the film gets some mileage out of the running gag about our hero's attempts to control his temper by speaking to a talk-radio psychiatrist, the film's false starts and detours are best exemplified by Bosworth's "Dukes of Hazzard"-like interplay with Torry. Trying way too hard to divert, BACK IN BUSINESS falls prey to extraneous explosions and lame comic relief." Entertainment Weekly rated the movie C−, stating that Bosworth's " fledgling charisma can’t save this clanking thriller". == References ==
