Frank S. Nugent: THE SCREEN; 'Love Affair,' a Bitter-Sweet Romance, Opens at the Music Hall--'Ice Follies' at the Capitol. In: The New York Times. 17. März 1939 (englisch, Online auf NYTimes.com [abgerufen am 5. Mai 2019]): “extraordinarily fine film [...] As co-author, director and producer, Leo McCarey must be credited primarily for the film's success, but almost as large a measure of acknowledgment belongs to Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer for the facility with which they have matched the changes of their script—playing it lightly now, soberly next, but always credibly, always in character, always with a superb utilization of the material at hand.”
