Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. PUNQ – ★★
   “This had an awesome drinking game! A big flood! Show girls! Claire Trevor singing! All in a gold-digging romance flick. Yet, there’s no flow in this—only random elements put together without really knowing where it wanted to go.”

2. joelnox – ★★½
   “Not bad pre-code with Claire Trevor unsurprisingly being best in show.”
