Entertainment Weekly
The film knows how absurd this is, yet its triumph is that, by the end, we're actually rooting for Mary to see the library as her salvation.

This coming-of-age movie is the sweetest, frothiest fantasy in some time. [28 Jul 1995]

Rolling Stone
What makes it delicious fun is Posey, a party girl for the ages.

Variety
This trifle about a dizzy downtown New York scenester who gets a grip on her life is energized by several attractive characters and enough youthful pep to put it over as an upbeat diversion for teens and twentysomethings, though it has no more substance than bubblegum music.

San Francisco Examiner
When Party Girl isn't being silly, it tries to be endearing and socially redeeming, and to a good degree succeeds.

Chicago Reader
This exudes trendiness at regular intervals, and otherwise manages to be reasonably charming about Manhattan's melting pot culture, but my general response was still "Wake me when it's over."

Chicago Tribune
there's no joy in this movie. It's a safe, compromised, even preachy, fable; a wannabe hip romp that never gets going. [07 Jul 1995]

Reminds me of living in NYC in the 2000's as this scene had just left. The movie is watchable and also boring. Nothing really happens and her story of growing up is not really reflective of society. Also, they really downplayed the drug use in that scene.
