“The dances are brilliantly costumed, neatly turned and have a comic gayety. […] Miss Hayworth dances gracefully and brightly, sings in a pleasantly husky voice and coquettes with considerable archness in a variety of period costumes. And Mr. Mature […] cuts a dashing figure as the hail-fellow, brassy composer.”Bosley Crowther: ‘My Gal Sal,’ a Musical of Gay Nineties, at Roxy. In: The New York Times, 1. Mai 1942.
“Although Mature gives a solid performance as the songwriter, it’s Rita Hayworth who catches major attention from her first entrance.” Vgl. My Gal Sal. In: Variety, 1942.

“My Gal Sal is escapism of the highest order and remains as entertaining as it appeared when opening at New York’s Roxy Theatre.” Hans J. Wollstein: My Gal Sal (Memento vom 27. Mai 2019 im Internet Archive) bei AllMovie (englisch)
