Variety Staff Variety 12/06/2023
Gilda Gray has the best picture of her career. She is handled remarkably in a photographic way; does plenty of dancing and acquits herself capably from the acting end. Go to Full Review Mae Tinee Chicago Tribune 12/06/2023
The picture is improbable, well acted, and reasonably exciting. It has its moments of merriment. Go to Full Review Wilella Waldorf New York Post 12/06/2023
It is all very seriously accomplished, and sometimes quite excellently in an atmospheric way. But, save for those occasional lilting moments when Miss Gray is, to put it plainly, doing her stuff, the story borders on the ludicrous. Go to Full Review Laurence Reid Motion Picture News 12/06/2023
It isn't so real. Indeed, it is truly movie-ish, but it is colorful and staged with a discriminate eye for atmosphere. Go to Full Review T.M. Cushing Baltimore Sun 12/06/2023
The most effective vehicle provided thus far for the dancer, being superior to either Cabaret or Aloma. Miss Gray, of course, is at her best during the dance episodes, but her dramatic interpretation is vastly more satisfying than her initial efforts.

The Devil Dancer is a narrative of such utter stupidity as to make a bedtime radio story seem highly intelligent by comparison. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
