roger ebert gave the film 2.5 stars out of 4 and wrote, "the character that goldie hawn creates in this movie is so refreshing and so interesting that they should have gone ahead and made the extra effort and written an intelligent screenplay about her." gene siskel of the "chicago tribune" awarded 2 stars out of 4 and wrote that it played like a "bad sequel" to hawn's earlier hit, "private benjamin". siskel suggested that "it might have been intended as some kind of emotional frank capra film with hawn in the jimmy stewart role. but stewart never would have stood for all the grade-z slapstick material here, including a truly pathetic, protracted barroom brawl scene in which an arab stereotype (andré gregory in a humiliating role) is turned on by sado-masochism." vincent canby of "the new york times" wrote, "though everything in 'protocol' has been most carefully contrived, it has been contrived by talented people, particularly by mr. henry." "variety" stated, "moving far away from the disaster of 'swing shift' and back toward the smash success of 'private benjamin,' hawn is once again properly bubbly (and brainy), but one big problem here is an oh-so-obvious effort to reinvent the formula that boosted 'benjamin' to new heights." paul attanasio of "the washington post" called it "the kind of corny screwball comedy you thought nobody made anymore. by the end, its ersatz political moralism is almost too much to take; but buoyed by buck henry's often hilarious script, a wiggy performance by goldie hawn as a not-so-dumb blond, and director herbert ross' sure comic touch, 'protocol' is pleasant piffle for a sunday afternoon." michael wilmington of the "los angeles times" wrote that "goldie hawn is likable—even if this movie (which might actually be subtitled 'private benjamin' goes to washington') is not." kim newman of "the monthly film bulletin" wrote that the movie's most obvious influence was the 1950 film "born yesterday", "but without displaying any understanding of why it worked so well. its most explicit borrowing is from what now seems "born yesterday"'s most embarrassing scene—the dumb blond being converted to committed patriotism by reading the original constitution and touring washington's state monuments."
