==Reception== ===Critical response=== [[Vincent Canby]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote that "Clayburgh is nothing less than extraordinary in what is the performance of the year to date. In her we see intelligence battling feeling{{spnd}}reason backed against the wall by pushy needs."<ref>{{cite news |last=Canby |first=Vincent |author-link=Vincent Canby |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1978/03/05/archives/an-unmarried-woman-film-with-jill-clayburghthe-cast.html |title='An Unmarried Woman,' Film With Jill Clayburgh |newspaper=The New York Times |date=March 5, 1978 |access-date=June 27, 2023}}</ref> [[Pauline Kael]] of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' wrote: {{blockquote|''An Unmarried Woman'' may give Mazursky the popular success that his films ''[[Blume in Love]]'', ''[[Harry and Tonto]]'' and ''[[Next Stop, Greenwich Village]]'' should have given him{{spnd}}Erica, the heroine, sleeps in a T-shirt and bikini panties. There are so few movies that deal with recognizable people that this detail alone is enough to pick up one's spirits... Jill Clayburgh has a cracked, warbly voice{{spnd}}a modern polluted-city huskiness... When Erica's life falls apart and her reactions go out of control, Clayburgh's floating, not-quite-sure, not-quite-here quality is just right.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kael |first=Pauline |author-link=Pauline Kael |title=When the Lights Go Down: Film Writings, 1975β1980 |title-link=When the Lights Go Down (book) |location=New York |publisher=[[Holt, Rinehart and Winston]] |year=1980 |pages=410β414}}</ref>}} On the [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]], the film holds an approval rating of 90% based on 29 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Jill Clayburgh is wondrous as a woman who loses her marriage β only to find herself β in this acutely observed and lived-in portrait of New York City life."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/unmarried_woman|title=An Unmarried Woman|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> ===Accolades=== {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders" !
