| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumBreezy, fun holiday comedy that has dated somewhat. |
| The A.V. ClubCaroline SiedeA thoroughly wacky 1945 screwball comedy that also doubles as a fascinatingly subversive commentary on conventional gender roles. It’s a bit of a hidden gem in the Christmas canon. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonPeter Godfrey paces the picture at a fast clip and the writing is laden with fun stuff. |
| Chicago ReaderPat GrahamFrolicsome in an artificially hearty sort of way. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullreasonably good fun, and Stanwyck actually overcomes the role's limitations |
