| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisIt's the closest Wilder ever came to Ernst Lubitsch. |

| Time OutGeoff AndrewAn over-long and only spasmodically amusing romantic comedy... |
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusIt's not a great film, but it is an endearing one. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonMuch nearer the bottom of Wilder's career than the top. |
