“Shall We Dance, the seventh in the Astaire-Rogers series, is a standout […], the comedy is solid, and this is the best cutting job an Astaire picture has enjoyed in a long time. […] All six songs [by George and Ira Gershwin], one more than usual, have been nicely spotted with no attempt to overplay any of them.” Vgl. Shall We Dance. In: Variety, 1937.
