Based on 40 critic reviews provided by

80	Newsweek David Ansen A smooth mixture of satire and sentiment that owes an obvious debt to "The Apartment," not to mention "Jerry Maguire."
80	Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan Genial, generous-spirited and unmistakably entertaining.
75	USA Today Mike Clark Gives Dennis Quaid one of his best screen showcases.
75	New York Daily News Jami Bernard An amusing and unusually compassionate look at today's corporate culture.
70	The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt Weitz gives all his actors room to shine.
70	Variety Todd McCarthy An often lively comedy-drama that lands some nice jabs at the mega-corp ethos, In Good Company makes for pretty good company until going soft when it counts.
70	The New York Times Manohla Dargis In Good Company lacks both the emotional sting and the bright pop-culture snap of "About a Boy," as well as Mr. Hornby's carefully cultivated irony, but it makes for an agreeable solo directing debut.
60	Village Voice Dennis Lim The scenario is stale but the actors are faultless.
50	The A.V. Club Nathan Rabin Only when it wraps up all its loose ends with a feel-good sitcom conclusion does it finally reveal itself: It's an interesting failure rendered all the more disappointing for veering so close to success.
50	L.A. Weekly Scott Foundas It's "Rain Man" with ageism substituted for autism.
