On Metacritic, the film has a score of 18% based on reviews from 10 critics, indicating "Overwhelming dislike". Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a grade B. Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film zero stars, reporting, "I didn't laugh once during the entire film—not at the slapstick, not at the humor, which is pitched at the preschool level." His fellow Tribune critic Dave Kehr awarded one star out of four, describing the gags as "blunt and literal." Caryn James of The New York Times wrote that "the formula is pretty long in the tooth by now, and all the extra turns of plot can't disguise that." Michael Wilmington of the Los Angeles Times thought the film was an improvement over the previous three sequels but that the jokes were still "nothing special." Rita Kempley of The Washington Post called it a "fifth-rate rehash of the rather wonderful original." Nige Floyd of The Monthly Film Bulletin called it "the feeblest to date. Neither the picture-postcard setting nor the bungling jewel thieves add anything to the standard formula, while 'guest star' cops Nick Lassard and Kate Stratton hardly make up for the departure of regulars Steve Guttenberg and Bobcat Goldthwait."
