NYT Staff New York Times 07/23/2020
It is a synthetic Manhattan cocktail without the cherry. Go to Full Review SMH Staff Sydney Morning Herald 07/23/2020
[The story] is is tedious, illogical, and a long way from being original. Even the excellent acting of Richard Arlen, Nancy Carroll, Lllyan Tashman, and the rest of the cast falls to overcome its defects. Go to Full Review Joe Bigelow Variety 07/23/2020
To many the youth of the ambitious trio will predominate. They look arid act well, particularly Richard Arlen, Paramount's leading juvenile at the present moment. Go to Full Review Elisabeth Goldbeck Motion Picture Magazine 12/09/2020
The picture is full of pitfalls, badger games, opening nights, and other terrors of the city. Nancy is awfully cute, and does some audible songs and dances. Go to Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports 07/23/2020
Money has been expended lavishly on it, but the story lacks appealing qualities. Go to Full Review Tele Staff Daily Telegraph (Australia) 07/23/2020
A well-made sound-picture, with enjoyable synchronised music. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
