The film holds aapproval rating at the film review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, where two reviews out of the twelve polled are positive.Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin wrote, A hemorrhoidandahalf to whoever sits through this abjectly painful comedy, which does for Burt Reynolds career what Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot did for Sylvester Stallones. Critic Gene Siskel also excoriated the film, seeing it as indicative of artistic bankruptcy on Burt Reynolds part, and singled out Norman D. Golden IIs performance as awkward. Siskel later called it the worst movie of 1993. Siskel speculated that NBC thought little of the film when they aired it in its broadcastnetwork debut, pointing out that they scheduled it opposite the 1997 Super Bowl. However, Roger Ebert gave the film a positive review, giving it a thumbs up. He also gave itstars out of a possible 4, saying, There isnt much thats original in Cop and a Half, but theres a lot thats entertaining, and theres a winning performance by a young man with a big name, Norman D. Golden II, who plays little Devon Butler, a kid who dreams of someday wearing the shield. ........
