Line 115:

Rita Kempley of ''[[The Washington Post]]'' praised Meg Ryan as the "summer's [[Melanie Griffith]] – a honey-haired blonde who finally finds a showcase for her sheer exuberance. Neither naif nor vamp, she's a woman from a pen of a woman, not some [[Cinderella]] of a ''[[Working Girl]]''."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/whenharrymetsallyrkempley_a0c9a5.htm | title=Romance That Dances | newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] | date=July 12, 1989 | access-date=June 15, 2008 | last=Kempley | first=Rita | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105102142/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/whenharrymetsallyrkempley_a0c9a5.htm | archive-date=November 5, 2012 | url-status=live }}</ref> Mike Clark of ''[[USA Today]]'' gave the film three out of four stars, writing, "Crystal is funny enough to keep Ryan from all-out stealing the film. She, though, is smashing in an eye-opening performance, another tribute to Reiner's flair with actors."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/access/55933280.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=Jul+12%2C+1989&author=Mike+Clark&pub=USA+TODAY+(pre-1997+Fulltext)&edition=&startpage=01.D&desc=%60Harry+Met+Sally%27+is+Reiner%27s+next+sure+thing | title=''Harry Met Sally'' is Reiner's next sure thing | work=[[USA Today]] | date=July 12, 1989 | last=Clark | first=Mike}}{{dead link|date=July 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> [[David Ansen]] provided one of the rare negative reviews of the film for ''[[Newsweek]]''. He criticized the casting of Crystal, "Not surprisingly he handles the comedy superbly, but he's too cool and self-protective an actor to work as a romantic leading man", and felt that as a film, "of wonderful parts, it doesn't quite add up".<ref>{{cite news | title=To Make True Lovers of Friends | work=[[Newsweek]] | date=July 17, 1989 | last=Ansen | first=David}}</ref>
