Yorker gave it a positive review, calling it "a funky, buoyant farce."<ref> Taking It All In (1984) </ref> Gary Arnold of The Washington Post gave it a mixed review. He was critical with the lack of originality but suggests younger audiences who have not seen it before may enjoy it. Arnold compares the film unfavorably to The Three Ages, where Buster Keaton was able to bring his genius, Caveman'' struggles to overcome Starr's limits and director Gottlieb fails to make use of other talented actors such as Quaid, Schreiber, or Gilford.
