Rating: 3.5/5 --
The tone remains upbeat despite all the dodgy dealings, making this a cheery and entertaining film throughout.

Eye for Film
Rating: 2/4 --
More intriguing for behind-the-scenes gossip than its rather familiar screwball comedy machinations.

Slant Magazine
Rating: 4/5 --
Classic screwball farce. Not as funny as it might be, but worthwhile.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: B- --
The actors are game but the hijinks are too stilted and tame by today's standards.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Earns its keep simply for the moment when Loy, expecting Powell to describe her eyes in gushing terms, is instead startled when he remarks that they look like "angry marbles."

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: B+ --
A charming cast, headed by Tracy, Harlow, William Powell and Myrna Loy, elevates this screwball comedy, a typically glossy MGM fare of the Depression era.
