Although the film received widespread critical acclaim and numerous awards, Allen himself was disappointed with it, and said in an interview, "When ''Annie Hall'' started out, that film was not supposed to be what I wound up with. The film was supposed to be what happens in a guy's mind&nbsp;... Nobody understood anything that went on. The relationship between myself and Diane Keaton was all anyone cared about. That was not what I cared about&nbsp;... In the end, I had to reduce the film to just me and Diane Keaton, and that relationship, so I was quite disappointed in that movie".<ref name="cinemablendinterview">{{cite web |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Woody-Allen-Explains-Why-Annie-Hall-Hannah-Her-Sisters-Were-Disappointments-31531.html |title=Woody Allen Explains Why Annie Hall And Hannah And Her Sisters Were Disappointments |publisher=Cinema Blend |last=Eisenberg |first=Eric |date=June 22, 2012 |access-date=July 18, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120701233552/http://www.cinemablend.com/new/woody-allen-explains-why-annie-hall-hannah-her-sisters-were-disappointments-31531.html |archive-date=July 1, 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> Allen has repeatedly declined to make a sequel,<ref>{{cite web |first=Peter |last=Biskind |author-link=Peter Biskind |title=Reconstructing Woody |work=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2005/12/woodyallen200512?currentPage=1 |date=December 2005 |access-date=January 23, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071014180250/http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2005/12/woodyallen200512?currentPage=1 |archive-date=October 14, 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref> and in a 1992 interview stated that "Sequelism has become an annoying thing. I don't think [[Francis Coppola]] should have done ''[[Godfather III]]'' because ''[[Godfather II]]'' was quite great. When they make a sequel, it's just a thirst for more money, so I don't like that idea so much".<ref>{{harvnb|Björkman|1995|p=51}}</ref>

Diane Keaton has stated that Annie Hall was her favorite role and that the film meant everything to her.<ref>{{harvnb|Mitchell|2001|p=45}}</ref> When asked if being most associated with the role concerned her as an actress, she replied, "I'm not haunted by Annie Hall. I'm happy to be Annie Hall. If somebody wants to see me that way, it's fine by me". Costume designer [[Ruth Morley]], working with Keaton, created a look which had an influence on the fashion world during the late-70s, with women adopting the style: layering oversized, mannish blazers over vests, billowy trousers or long skirts, a man's tie, and boots.<ref>{{harvnb|Steele|2010|p=336}}</ref> The look was often referred to as the "''Annie Hall'' look".<ref>{{harvnb|Eagan|2010}}</ref> Some sources suggest that Keaton herself was mainly responsible for the look, and Ralph Lauren has often claimed credit, but only one jacket and one tie were purchased from Ralph Lauren for use in the film.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Gross, Michael|date= January 18, 1993|title=Letters: The Costumer is Always Right|journal=[[New York (magazine)|New York]]|publisher=New York Media|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BhgAAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA5}}</ref> Allen recalled that Lauren and Keaton's dress style almost did not end up in the film. "She came in," he recalled in 1992, "and the costume lady on ''Annie Hall'' said, 'Tell her not to wear that. She can't wear that. It's so crazy.' And I said, 'Leave her. She's a genius. Let's just leave her alone, let her wear what she wants.{{'"}}<ref>{{harvnb|Björkman|1995|p=85}}</ref>

The film's script topped the Writers Guild of America's list of 101 funniest screenplays ever, surpassing ''[[Some Like It Hot]]'' (1959), ''[[Groundhog Day (film)|Groundhog Day]]'' (1993), ''[[Airplane!]]'' (1980), and ''[[Tootsie]]'' (1982).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/annie-hall-tops-wgas-list-839620|title='Annie Hall' Tops WGA's List of 101 Funniest Screenplays Ever|last=Gajewski|first=Ryan|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=November 11, 2015|access-date=October 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180816063511/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/annie-hall-tops-wgas-list-839620|archive-date=August 16, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> James Bernardoni states that the film is "one of the very few romantic comedy-dramas of the New Hollywood era and one that has rightly taken its place among the classics of that revered genre", likening the seriocomic meditation on the couple relationship to [[George Cukor]]'s ''[[Adam's Rib]]'' (1949), starring [[Katharine Hepburn]] and [[Spencer Tracy]].<ref name="Bernardoni01">{{harvnb|Bernardoni|2001|p=164}}</ref> Since its release, other romantic comedies have inspired comparison.
