“The rest is inevitable and rarely involving, although there’s a certain sleepy country-gastro-pub charm about the setting, and Simon Callow is occasionally fun. […] This feels far more amateur than you’d expect of a film with this cast. The lowest point comes when Gordon Ramsay turns up as himself.” Anna Smith: Love’s Kitchen Review auf empireonline.com, 26. Mai 2011.
“The amateurishness of this Brit non-com [… J]ust as nobody noticed the unutterable lameness of James Hacking’s script. […] Hacking has no idea about dialogue, pacing, or even where to position the camera. The cast perform as if they had never acted before in their lives. Gordon Ramsay, who has never acted before, can’t even do a convincing impersonation of himself.” Anthony Quinn: Love’s Kitchen. In: The Independent, 24. Juni 2011.
“[T]he result is a grisly, unfunny mess. […] film with an eternal, timeless kind of embarrassing awfulness. […] Gordon Ramsay has an excruciating cameo, but Peter Bowles and Simon Callow do their level best with a script so poisonously naff.” Peter Bradshaw: Love’s Kitchen – review. In: The Guardian, 23. Juni 2011.
