Reviews
- Lexicon of international film: Lavishly equipped, brilliant in the choreography, certainly from the exuberant playing Barbra Streisand's temperament. Despite some lengths a serene and relaxing entertainment that spreads sparkling good humor.
- Protestant observers movie (Critique No. 4/ 1970): American musical, set by Gene Kelly in balanced color, with brilliant choreography and with the amazing Barbra Streisand in the lead role in the scene. Besides the title song of course is the music only of moderate ingenuity.
