Uncut Magazine [UK]
Morgan sticks in the memory as a collection of funny moments, with the fatal habit (shared by If..., among others) of confronting issues, then farting around when the going gets rough.

Time Out
Poor Morgan, one feels; victim of a satire that doesn't bite, lost in a technical confusion of means and ends, and emerging like an identikit photograph, all bits and pieces and no recognisable face.

Monthly Film Bulletin
Instead of providing the subtle, gradually disintegrating character of Morgan, Reisz dwells on the comedic aspects of each prank, cunningly milked for maximum yaks, in the process ceding any hope of the observer taking Morgan seriously.

Rating: B- --
A cult fave from the 1960s.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
If Morgan! is supposed to be a comedy, and certain desperate attempts at slapstick suggest maybe it is, then I was not amused.

Product Description:
Karel Reisz's MORGAN! is the tragic yet delirious comedy that defined Swinging London cinema with its 1966 release. While the story has serious undertones about love and loss, it does more than enough to address the universally understood need to sometimes act irrationally--if necessary, in a gorilla costume.
The wildly eccentric artist of the title (played with lunatic delight by David Warner) is driven over the edge when his ex-wife, Leonie (Vanessa Redgrave in her wickedly innocent film debut), with whom he is still smitten, announces that she plans to remarry. Manic Morgan (King Kong is his idol) desperately tries to win Leonie back from her very normal fiance Charles Napier (Robert Stephens). Morgan is also being driven mad by the other woman in his life--his mother (Irene Handl), a Trotskyite who sincerely believes that her son will be taking over the country. But even she is not blind to his mental problems, making MORGAN! even more ironic that it appears on the surface.
