Streisand produced, developed the script, and composed most of the music for this showpiece, and her efforts, as usual, pay off, above all in her angry and lively performance.

The film is almost entirely adrift.
Janet Maslin, New York Times
Rotten
It wants to be a movie with a message, but in the end it's just a melodrama.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
Rotten
Nuts is essentially just a futile exercise in courtroom cliches, surrounding a good performance that doesn't fit.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
It's Hollywood manipulation at its best.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
