Top critics, in their words
Fresh
It is a talking and singing film free from irritating outpourings of coarse slang or a tedious, sobbing romance.
Mordaunt Hall, New York Times
Rotten
MGM's entry in the cycle of all-star studio revues that came with the advent of sound; it was by far the most popular, though the waning of some of the celebrities featured makes it seem a little creaky today.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
