When George goes to visit the doctor, he overhears two doctors talking about a diagnosis of a terminally ill patient. George believes they are talking about him and that he is doomed to die. He recruits his friend Arnold (Tony Randall) to find a new husband for Judy. Judy thinks George is covering up for an illicit affair and throws him out of the house. George locates Judy's old college flame Bert (Clint Walker), now a Texas oil millionaire. Excellent performances by Edward Andrews as Dr. Morrissey and Paul Lynde as the aggressive cemetery-plot salesman help this feature along. Although not as solid as the Day/Hudson pairing in Pillow Talk or Lover Come Back, Send Me No Flowers is still a good romantic comedy. ~ Dan Pavlides, Rovi

At 40, [Day] should maybe stop trying to play Goldilocks.

Variety Staff, Variety
Send Me No Flowers doesn't carry the same voltage, either in laughs or originality.
-
Tom Milne, Time Out
Probably the best of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson vehicles.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
It is a beautiful farce situation, and Julius Epstein has written it, from a play by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore, with nimble inventiveness and style.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
The last and weakest Hudson-Day pairing is lame from the starting gate.
