- 75NPRElla TaylorNPRElla TaylorLike many neglected offspring, Gregory comes across as an eternal child himself, hooked on his capacity to enchant but rarely able to listen to anyone other than the actors over whom he has such power.
- 75Slant MagazineSlant MagazinePerhaps the most valuable insight that the film provides about its subject is that he acts even as he directs.
- 70VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibCindy Kleine pays tribute to her famed theater-director hubby in Andre Gregory: Before and After Dinner, with thoroughly delightful results.
- 67The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayThe A.V. ClubNoel MurrayGregory’s wife, Cindy Kleine, is a skilled filmmaker, but she’s no Louis Malle, and her documentary Andre Gregory: Before And After Dinner is nowhere near as elegant as "My Dinner With Andre" or "Vanya On 42nd Street." Mainly, the movie lacks focus.

- 60Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary Goldstein[It's] too bad Cindy Kleine, the documentary's producer-director-narrator — and Gregory's wife — didn't better organize this rangy survey of the eclectic actor, theater director, artist and raconteur.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAlthough Andre Gregory's fans will find much here to savor, this rambling and unfocused portrait smacks of self-indulgence.
- 38New York PostFarran Smith NehmeNew York PostFarran Smith NehmeThe last topic is the hook for audience members not related to Gregory or Kleine, but just as insight appears, back we go to Kleine's tediously selfreferential narration.
