| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe tepid melodrama doesn't work, but there's charm in perky Shirley's performance and her bouncy musical numbers with Bill Robinson. |

| User Reviewraul aThis was one of the more mediocre Shirley Temple movies. |
| User ReviewJames HNot one of Shirley Temple's best, but it is still entertaining and enjoyable. The musical numbers for the most part are not very memorable, but the "Walk in the Rain" number is great. |
| User ReviewShirley MThe best part about this is Temple's feud with the spoiled rich kid. Other than that it's really one of her worst. |
