Variety Staff, Variety
Multiple functions of Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder on Waltz have given film an infectious quality that surmounts the gorgeously apt trappings against which is projected the fable of an American travelling phonograph salesman.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Brackett and Wilder have made up with casualness and charm -- and with a great deal of clever sight-humor -- for the meagerness of the idea.

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Not one of Billy Wilder's strong films, this bizarre period musical teams the director with crooner Bing Crosby, who's pleasant enough and some of the tunes are medlodic.
-
Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Definitely colorful, but otherwise mediocre Bing Crosby musical with few memorable tunes.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
This is a charming musical from Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett, two of the best screenwriters ever.
