“The best of the Astaire-Rogers films […]. The plot, with its sly drolleries, is based like “Top Hat” on mistaken identities, but it’s wittier and more cleverly written. […] including the climactic Never Gonna Dance number that may be the high point of the Astaire-Rogers partnership.”Roger Ebert: Swing Times. In: Chicago Sun-Times, 15. Februar 1998.
“Swing Time is another winner for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers combo. It’s smart, modern, and impressive in every respect [… T]he tunes as usual have substance and quality.” Vgl. Swing Time. In: Variety, 1936.
