Adam's Rib is a bright comedy success, belting over a succession of sophisticated laughs.

, Chicago Reader
The film is a classic, and deservedly so: the conjunction of Tracy's sly listlessness and Hepburn's stridency defines 'chemistry' in the movies.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Of Adam's Rib we might say...that it isn't solid food but it certainly is meaty and juicy and comically nourishing.

Matthew Pejkovic, Matt's Movie Reviews
Thanks to an at times sharp script, solid lead performances, and a scene stealing supporting turn by Judy Holliday, Adam's Rib is an entertaining enough film to warrant a solid review. But one of the great comedies of all time? Not even close.
