===Critical response===
[[Pauline Kael]] wrote: "A wisecracking newspaper comedy{{nbsp}}... The director, Jack Conway, deeps up the fast pace by a lot of shouting and busywork—people are always rushing in and out, and practically every line is meant to be funny. Some of them are, and the others are, at least, perky. The picture isn't bad—it's enjoyable, but it's rather charmless."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Kael |first1=Pauline |title=5001 Nights at the Movies |date=1991 |publisher=A William Abrahams/Owl Book |isbn=0-8050-1366-0}}</ref> [[Leonard Maltin]] gave it four of four stars: "Wonderful comedy with the four stars working at full steam{{nbsp}}...
