[[Justin Chang]] in a review for the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' found the film worthy of comparison to other notable films using an Asian ensemble cast including ''[[Memoirs of a Geisha (film)|Memoirs of a Geisha]]'', ''[[Letters from Iwo Jima]]'', and ''The Joy Luck Club''. Chang found the supporting cast performance of [[Michelle Yeoh]] to be exceptional, stating "you can't help but hang on Eleanor's (Michelle Yeoh's) every word. In a crisp, authoritative, sometimes startlingly vulnerable performance that never lapses into dragon-lady stereotype, Yeoh brilliantly articulates the unique relationship between Asian parents and their children, the intricate chain of love, guilt, devotion and sacrifice that binds them for eternity".<ref name="lat">{{cite news |url=http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-crazy-rich-asians-review-20180808-story.html |title=Review: A flawed but vital milestone, 'Crazy Rich Asians' pays exuberant tribute to Singapore's 1% |first=Justin |last=Chang |author-link=Justin Chang |date=August 8, 2018 |newspaper=Los Angeles Times |accessdate=August 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826231728/http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-crazy-rich-asians-review-20180808-story.html |archive-date=August 26, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
 
In his review for ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[A. O. Scott]] indicates that the film's appeal surpasses contemporary [[social more]]s dealing with wealth and touches on themes examined in the literature of "[[conspicuous consumption|endless luxury]]" over the centuries stating that this is "...part of the film's sly and appealing old-fashionedness. Without betraying any overt nostalgia, ''Crazy Rich Asians'' casts a fond eye backward as well as Eastward, conjuring a world defined by hierarchies and prescribed roles in a way that evokes classic novels and films. Its keenest romantic impulse has less to do with Nick and Rachel's rather pedestrian love story than with the allure of endless luxury and dynastic authority. Which I guess is pretty modern after all".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/14/movies/crazy-rich-asians-review.html |title=Review: 'Crazy Rich Asians' Is a Party With a First-Rate Guest List |first=A.O. |last=Scott |author-link=A.

Scott Mendelson, writing for ''[[Forbes]]'', found the film to be below average and to have an uneven plot line with contrived humor similar to his opinion of the 2002 film ''[[My Big Fat Greek Wedding]]'' stating: "Without having read the book, I might argue that the core flaw of ''Crazy Rich Asians'' is that it's so determined to be the Asian-American version of the conventional Hollywood romantic comedy that it becomes a deeply conventional romantic comedy, complete with the bad, the good and the generic tropes. It's well-acted and offers plenty of cultural specificity, but the supporting characters are thin and the need to be universal hobbles its drama".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/08/13/crazy-rich-asians-review-too-much-rich-not-enough-crazy/ |title=Review: 'Crazy Rich Asians' Is A Disappointingly Generic Romcom |first=Scott |last=Mendelson |date=August 13, 2018 |work=Forbes |accessdate=August 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180827175137/https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2018/08/13/crazy-rich-asians-review-too-much-rich-not-enough-crazy/ |archive-date=August 27, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

[[Sosiologi|Sosiolog]] dan penulis ''Reel Inequality: Hollywood Actors and Racism'' Nancy Wang Yuen yang membela pemeranan Henry menduga kritik atas pemeranan film ini didorong atas [[kebersihan ras|kemurnian ras]]. Dengan menganggap Henry "tidak cukup menjadi orang Asia", para pencela memilih untuk mengabaikan warisan Asia-nya. Nanny membandingkan kritik terhadap Henry dengan persepsi publik tentang mantan Presiden Amerika Serikat [[Barack Obama]] yang juga dwibangsa. Dia menyebut bagaimana dunia memandang Obama sebagai orang kulit hitam berbanding terbalik dengan ibu Obama yang berkulit putih dan menyerukan [[standar ganda]] dalam menghapus keturunan Asia yang disandang Henry sembari melenyapkan leluhur Obama yang berkulit putih.<ref name="HuffPo">{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/crazy-rich-asians-henry-golding-casting_us_5a1f172ce4b0d52b8dc2632e |title='Crazy Rich Asians' Star Claps Back At Criticism That He's 'Not Asian Enough' |work=HuffPost |first=Kimberly |last=Yam |date=November 30, 2017 |accessdate=February 5, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180204123522/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/crazy-rich-asians-henry-golding-casting_us_5a1f172ce4b0d52b8dc2632e |archive-date=February 4, 2018 |dead-url=no |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
