| The New York TimesFrank S. NugentA valiant comedy, it stands on a level with such blissfully remembered items as I Met Him in Paris and Nothing Sacred... for they are all of a piece -- witty, clever and hugely amazing shows. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelCarole Lombard's final film for Paramount was a charming screwball comedy that was entertaining, if lightweight. |
