Reception

The film received mediocre reviews. Caryn James of The New York Times said that Lane's direction was "tame and conventional" and that although Henry had "obvious" talent, "True Identity doesn't take enough advantage of it". Lenny Henry commented on film retrospectively in 2010.?When I went to America to do [the film] True Identity in 1991, I realised they had their own Richard Pryor, they didn't need me pretending to be Richard Pryor, so I had a massive career rethink,'

Box office

The film was not a box office success.
