“[…] the moment is always propitious for a charming jocularity of this sort. For here […] is a lively and wistful comedy for which every one would do well to find the time. […] the narrative has been happily expanded, and the brittle and worldly wit of Mr. Behrman has been abbreviated in favor of more extensive and effervescent humorous action. […] As usual, Mr. Stewart is the best thing in the show […]. Miss Russell is excellent, too, in a cool, collected way, while Allyn Joslyn is a delightful compound of irony and venom as a theatrical director.” Bosley Crowther: ‘No Time for Comedy,’ a Gay Romance, With James Stewart and Rosalind Russell, at the Strand. In: The New York Times, 7. September 1940.
“Combined with a deftness for handling comedy and a class type of beauty which is plenty well demonstrated right here, Russell emerges as a player of unusual dignity and authority. Stewart is pretty much the same Mr Smith who went to Washington. Cast in a role which was obviously tailored to his measure, he is topnotch in the characterization of the boyish playwright.” Vgl. No Time for Comedy. In: Variety, 1940.
