“Donlevy is a competent workman and can play a reporter as well as most any other role, but he looks out of place. […] Rita Hayworth as a dancer who’s mixed up with the gangsters is a good looking brunet and not bad on performance.” Vgl. Human Cargo. In: Variety, 1936.

“Human Cargo is a lively, tongue-in-cheek melodrama […]. Rita Cansino, still not yet billed as Rita Hayworth, is quite alluring as a Latina dancer.”Hal Erickson: Human Cargo (Memento vom 3. Juni 2021 im Internet Archive) bei AllMovie (englisch).
