Jeanette Catsoulis from ''[The New York Times](/source/The_New_York_Times)'' disliked the picture:
{{Blockquote|A tired mash-up of every men-behaving-badly sitcom ever to grace a third-tier television network, ''Speed-Dating'' tries to coax laughs from characters so dated even [Eddie Murphy](/source/Eddie_Murphy) would balk.<ref>{{cite web|last=Catsoulis |first=Jeannette |url=https://movies.nytimes.com/2010/10/01/movies/01speed.html |title=Three Men Behaving (Really) Badly - NYTimes.com |publisher=Movies.nytimes.com |date=2010-09-30 |accessdate=2011-07-12}}</ref>}}

On the other hand, Nick Pinkerton from ''[The Village Voice](/source/The_Village_Voice)'' gave the film a mixed to positive review:
{{Blockquote|With characters named Too Cool, Dog, and Beaver, Speed-Dating already won... A homemade vaudeville that’s likable enough to wear you down with its eager-to-please capering.<ref>{{cite web|author=Nick Pinkerton |url=http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-09-29/film/Speed-Dating |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130208233532/http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-09-29/film/Speed-Dating |url-status=dead |archive-date=February 8, 2013 |title=Speed-Dating film review |publisher=Village Voice |date=2010-09-29 |accessdate=2011-07-12}}</ref>}}
