A devoted wife discovers that her husband has been living a double life.

Carrie Rickey

Philadelphia Inquirer

Cover is a social-problem film without a solution. While not of the first rank, its inventory of Philadelphia's hot restaurants and cool sights is an occasion for civic pride.

Rated: 1.5/4

Variety

Director Bill Duke aims for social awareness, but delivers second-rate melodrama instead.

A perfect storm of movie badness.

TV Guide

So overwrought that it quickly crosses the line into unintentionally funny and never recovers.

Rated: 1.5/4

Entertaining in a way the filmmakers probably weren't intending.

Rated: 2.5/5

L.A. Weekly

Duke appears to be aiming for a Tyler Perry-style mix of the taboo and the saintly, but his touch is so leaden that one ends up giggling, not weeping.
