''The Independent'' newspaper called the book "a charming memoir, full of amusing and insightful anecdotes about the many entertainers Lynn has worked with" and described it as a combination of autobiography and how-to manual for comedy. The paper wrote further: "By dovetailing different types of book, Lynn cleverly avoids the pitfalls of both genres. Because it's ostensibly a sort of how-to book, there are no boring childhood reminiscences. Because it's also a kind of autobiography, his no-nonsense dos and don'ts are springboards for entertaining yarns, rather than academic discourse."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/comedy-rules-by-jonathan-lynn-2343706.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220614/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/comedy-rules-by-jonathan-lynn-2343706.html |archive-date=14 June 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |newspaper=[[The Independent]] |access-date=4 July 2014 |title=Comedy Rules, By Jonathan Lynn |date=26 August 2011 |author=William Cook}}</ref>
