Reception
The DVD/Video Guide by Mick Martin & Marsha Porter gave the first two Police Academy films 2 stars out of 5; and each subsequent film received a Turkey (their lowest score.) Fellow critic/historian Leonard Maltin seemed to concur; he said this film was "...recommended only for people who thought PA#5 was robbed at the Oscars."
The movie performed poorly at the US Box Office grossing $11 million and marking the decline of the Police Academy franchise. It also earned the designation of being the first Police Academy movie not to place first in the US weekend box office.
The movie had a mostly negative response.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
