Frank S. Nugent: The Unfortunate Cases of 'The Princess Comes Across,' at the Paramount, and 'Nobody's Fool.' In: The New York Times. 4. Juni 1936 (englisch, online [abgerufen am 15. März 2017]): “With the subtlety of a sledge hammer, the Paramount's new film pounds away at the pin-sized story about the ambitious Brooklyn girl who poses as a princess to win a Hollywood movie contract. Dressed up with a few shipboard murders, a romance with a personable concertina player and the usual gold-and-ivory Paramount settings, "The Princess Comes Across" just about gets across as a mild-to-boresome comedy.”
